If A = {1, 2, 3}, which of the following statements is false?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {4} ⊆ A / {4} is a subset of A
For a set to be a subset of A, every one of its elements must belong to A. Both 1 and 2 belong to A, so option A is true, and 3 belongs to A, so option B is true. The empty set is a subset of every set, making option D true. Since 4 is not in A = {1, 2, 3}, the statement {4} ⊆ A is false.
