If A = {0, {1}, 2}, which of the following is not an element of P(A)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {0, 1}
A power-set element must be a subset of A. The elements of A are 0, {1}, and 2; importantly, 1 itself is not an element of A. Options A, B, and C use only members of A and are therefore subsets. Option D contains 1 instead of the element {1}, so {0,1} is not a subset of A and is not in P(A).
