If A = {1, 2}, which of the following is not a subset of A?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {1, 3}
A set X is a subset of A when every element of X is also an element of A. The empty set, {1}, and {2} all satisfy this condition. However, {1, 3} contains 3, and 3 is not an element of A = {1, 2}. Therefore {1, 3} is not a subset, making option D correct.
