If A = {x : x is a letter of the word KAMAL}, how many elements are in A?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 4
A set counts distinct objects only once, even when an object is repeated in the description. The letters of KAMAL are K, A, M, A and L. Although A appears twice, it is included only once in the set. Thus A = {K, A, M, L}, which has four elements. Option B is correct.
