If A = {1, 2, {1}}, which statement is true?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Both {1} ∈ A and {1} ⊂ A are true
The set A has three elements: 1, 2, and the set {1}. Therefore, {1} is directly listed as an element of A, so {1} ∈ A. Also, the only element of {1} is 1, and 1 belongs to A; hence every element of {1} belongs to A, so {1} ⊂ A as well. Both statements are true.
