If P(A)⊆P(U), which statement is definitely true?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A⊆U
The set A is always a member of its own power set because A⊆A. Since P(A)⊆P(U), it follows that A∈P(U). By the definition of a power set, A∈P(U) means A⊆U. The other choices are not forced: A may be a proper subset of U, so option A is the only definitely true statement.
