If A = {1, 3, 5}, then {1, 5} is an element of which set?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 𝒫(A)
The set {1, 5} contains only elements that belong to A, so {1, 5} is a subset of A. However, it is not an element of A because the elements of A are the individual numbers 1, 3, and 5. The power set 𝒫(A) contains every subset of A, including {1, 5}. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 𝒫(A).
