Solution
A= {1} and since A belongs to B, it means set B consists of set and number.i.e. B contains a SET (set A) and a number (2). and since B is the subset of C all the element of B are in C. Therefore C contains a Set {1} 2 number '2' and '3'. Since the definition of a subset is that every element of set A must be present in C. Therefore element in set A i.e. 1 is not present in set C.
