If A = {1, 2, 3}, which of the following is not an element of 𝒫(A)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {1, 4}
An element of the power set 𝒫(A) must be a subset of A, meaning every element of that set must belong to A. The sets {1}, {2, 3}, and ∅ are all subsets of A. However, {1, 4} is not a subset because 4 is not an element of A. Therefore, {1, 4} is not an element of 𝒫(A).
