If A = {{1, 2}, 3}, which of the following is a subset of A?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {{1, 2}}
The outer set A has exactly two elements: the set {1,2} and the number 3. A subset must contain only elements that are themselves elements of A. The set {{1,2}} contains the single element {1,2}, which is in A, so it is a subset. The other options contain 1 or 2 individually, neither of which is an element of A.
