Let A = {∅,{a},b}. Which of the following is an element of P(A)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {∅,{a}}
The elements of A are ∅, {a}, and b. A member of P(A) must be a set whose every element belongs to A. In option A, the elements are ∅ and {a}; both are elements of A, so {∅,{a}} is a subset of A and therefore belongs to P(A). The other choices contain elements not in A or are not subsets.
