If A = (2, 8) and B = (4, 6), which statement is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B ⊆ A
Every number strictly between 4 and 6 is also strictly between 2 and 8. Therefore each element of B belongs to A, so B ⊆ A. The intervals are not equal because A contains additional numbers such as 3 and 7. Their intersection is B, not the empty set, so option B is the only correct statement.
