If A = {1, 2}, which statement is false?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {1, 2} ∈ A
The set A contains the two numbers 1 and 2 as its elements. Therefore 1 ∈ A is true, and both {1} ⊆ A and {1, 2} ⊆ A are true because every member of each set belongs to A. However, {1, 2} is the whole set A, not an element listed inside A. Hence {1, 2} ∈ A is false.
