Which of the following is a subset of [tex]\{1, 2, 3\}[/tex]?

A. [tex]\{1, 2, 3, 4\}[/tex]
B. [tex]\{0\}[/tex]
C. [tex]\{0, 1\}[/tex]
D. [tex]\{1, 2, 3\}[/tex]



Answer :

To determine which of the following sets is a subset of the set [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex], we need to examine whether every element of each given set is also an element of [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex].

Consider the sets provided:

1. [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3, 4\}\)[/tex]
2. [tex]\(\{0\}\)[/tex]
3. [tex]\(\{0, 1\}\)[/tex]
4. [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex]

Let's analyze each set one by one:

1. [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3, 4\}\)[/tex]:
- This set contains the elements 1, 2, 3, and 4.
- The elements 1, 2, and 3 are in [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex], but 4 is not.
- Since not all elements of [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3, 4\}\)[/tex] are in [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex], this set is not a subset of [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex].

2. [tex]\(\{0\}\)[/tex]:
- This set contains only the element 0.
- The element 0 is not in [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex].
- Since not all elements of [tex]\(\{0\}\)[/tex] are in [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex], this set is not a subset of [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex].

3. [tex]\(\{0, 1\}\)[/tex]:
- This set contains the elements 0 and 1.
- The element 1 is in [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex], but 0 is not.
- Since not all elements of [tex]\(\{0, 1\}\)[/tex] are in [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex], this set is not a subset of [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex].

4. [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex]:
- This set contains the elements 1, 2, and 3.
- All these elements are in [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex].
- Since all elements of [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex] are in [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex], this set is a subset of [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex].

After analyzing each set, we conclude that the only set that is a subset of [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex] is [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex]. Thus, the subset of [tex]\(\{1, 2, 3\}\)[/tex] is:

[tex]\[ \{1, 2, 3\} \][/tex]
