If A ∩ B = A, which relation is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A ⊆ B
The intersection A ∩ B contains exactly the elements common to A and B. If the intersection equals all of A, then every element of A must also be present in B. This is precisely the definition of A being a subset of B, so A ⊆ B. The equality does not require B to be empty or equal to A.
