If A = {1, 2, {3}}, which of the following is a subset of A?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {1, {3}}
A = {1, 2, {3}}. A subset may contain only objects that are elements of A. Both 1 and {3} belong to A, so {1, {3}} is a subset. However, 3 itself is not an element of A; only the set {3} is. Therefore the other options contain an object that is not in A or have an incorrect nested structure.
