you can make a mapping from {1,..N} to Bn where a number out of first set is mapped on the binairy representation of a n-tuple. Bn ' cardinality is clearly more than the other set.

The set B_n is a slightly different representation of the Power Set (the set of all subsets) of {1, ..., n}. Since you are asking this problem you have probably seen the theorem that that for any set S, |S| < |Powerset(S)|. If not, check out the link below.
