The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Total Subsets
Total subsets of a set with 9 elements = $2^{9} = 512$.
Step 2: Subsets with NO Odd Numbers

Odd numbers: $\{1, 3, 5, 7, 9\}$ (5 numbers). Even numbers: $\{2, 4, 6, 8\}$ (4 numbers).
Subsets containing only even numbers = $2^{4} = 16$.
Step 3: Calculation

Required subsets = Total subsets - Subsets with only even numbers.
$512 - 16 = 496$.
Final Answer: (c)
