If A = {2, 4, 6} and B = {x : x is one of 2, 4, 6}, which statement is true?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A = B
Set A is given in roster form as {2, 4, 6}. Set B is given in set-builder form: it contains every x that is one of 2, 4, or 6. Therefore, B also contains exactly 2, 4, and 6, so B = {2, 4, 6}. Since both sets have the same elements, A = B. Neither is a proper subset of the other.
