For A = {2, 4, 6, 8}, which of the following is a proper subset of A?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {2, 4}
A proper subset contains only elements of the original set and is not equal to the original set. The set {2, 4} contains elements that are both in A, and it has fewer elements than A, so it is a proper subset. Option A is equal to A, while options C and D contain elements, 10 or 1, that are not in A.
