If {1, 2, 3} and {3, 2, 1} are given, which statement is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They are equal sets
The order of elements does not matter in a set. Two sets are equal when they contain exactly the same elements. Both given sets contain 1, 2, and 3, even though the elements are written in different orders. Therefore, {1, 2, 3} = {3, 2, 1}; they are equal sets, and option A is correct.
