If A = {∅, 1}, which of the following is an element of P(A)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: All of these
The power set P(A) is the set of all subsets of A. For A = {∅, 1}, the empty set ∅ is a subset, {∅} is a subset because ∅ belongs to A, and {1} is a subset because 1 belongs to A. Therefore all three listed sets are elements of P(A), so option D is correct. Notice that ∅ itself and {∅} are different sets.
