n variable then 2n min and max term possible.

Reason:-

For a boolean function of n  variables , a product term in which each of the  variables appears once (in either its complemented or uncomplemented form) is called a minterm. 

Thus, a minterm is a logical expression of n variables that employs only the complement operator and the conjunction operator.

For example, a'b'c', a'b'c, a'bc'  are 3 examples of the 8 minterms for a Boolean function of the three variables .

There are 2minterms of n variables, since a variable in the minterm expression can be in either its direct or its complemented form—two choices per variable.

Same for max terms.
