If A = {1, 2}, which statement is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {1} ⊆ A and {1} ∈ P(A)
The set {1} is a subset of A because its only element, 1, belongs to A. Every subset of A is an element of the power set P(A), so {1} also belongs to P(A). In contrast, 1 is an element of A, not a subset of A, and {3} is not a subset because 3 is not in A. Hence option A is correct.
