Question

If A = {set of whole numbers less than 6} and B = {set of prime natural numbers less than 7}, then _________ .

• A. A is a subset of B
• B. B is a superset of A
• C. A is a superset of B
• D. A and B are disjoint sets

Answer 1

The correct option is C

A is a superset of B

A = {set of whole numbers less than 6}

A = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

B = {set of prime natural numbers less than 7}

B = {2, 3, 5}

All the elements of set B are also elements of set A.

So, A is a superset of B.
