If A = {0, 1, 2} and B = {x : x ∈ W and x < 3}, which statement is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A = B
W denotes the set of whole numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. The condition x < 3 restricts x to 0, 1, and 2. Therefore B = {0,1,2}, which is exactly the same set as A. The order of elements does not affect a set, and no additional element is present in either set. Hence A = B, so option A is correct.
