If A = {∅, 0}, how many elements are there in A?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 2
The empty set ∅ and the number 0 are different mathematical objects. The symbol ∅ denotes a set having no elements, whereas 0 is a number. In A = {∅, 0}, both objects are placed inside the outer braces as separate members. Thus A contains two distinct elements, so n(A) = 2. The correct answer is option C.
