Detailed Solution

Since min(S). max(S) < 0, we must have min(S) = -a and max(S) = b for some positive integers a and b. Given a and b, there are |S|2=ab2 elements left to choose, which must come from the set {a+1,a+2.........,b2,b1}  ,which has size a + b -1 . Therefore the number of possibilities for a given a, b are  a+b1ab2 .
In most cases, this binomial coefficient is zero. In particular, we must have  ab2a+b1(a1)(b1)2 . This narrows the possibilities for (a, b) to (1, n) and (n, 1) for positive integers 2n10 (the n = 1 case is impossible), and three extra possibilities: (2,2), (2,3), and 3, 2). In the first case, the number of possible sets is
2((20)+(31)+......+(108))=2((108)+(32)+.....+(102))=2(113)=330
In the second case the number of possible sets is  32+44+44=5.Thus there are 335 sets in total.
