If M={2,5,8}, which statement is false?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 6∈M
To test membership, compare each proposed number with the elements listed in M. The numbers 2, 5, and 8 occur explicitly, so 2∈M, 5∈M, and 8∈M are true statements. The number 6 does not occur in the roster, so 6∈M is false. Therefore option D is the required answer. The corresponding true non-membership statement would be 6∉M.
