Abstract
We investigate the following generalisation of the 'multiplication table problem' of Erd\H{o}s: given a bipartite graph with edges, how large is the set of sizes of its induced subgraphs? Erd\H{o}s's problem of estimating the number of distinct products with is precisely the problem under consideration when the graph in question is the complete bipartite graph . In this note, we prove that the set of sizes of the induced subgraphs of any bipartite graph with edges contains distinct elements.
