Which of the following pairs is not a pair of equal sets?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: {0} and {∅}
In a set, the order of elements is irrelevant and repeated listing of an element does not create a new element. Thus the pairs in A, B, and D are equal. But {0} contains the number 0, whereas {∅} contains the empty set as its sole element. Since 0 and ∅ are different objects, pair C is not equal.
