Question

Which of the following statements are correct?

(a) Equal and Equivalent sets are actually the same

(b) Equivalent sets have a different number of elements

(c) Equal sets have the same elements

(d) Two null sets are not equal

This question was posed to me in my homework.

The doubt is from Equal Sets topic in division Sets of Mathematics – Class 11

Answer 1

Right choice is (c) Equal sets have the same elements

The best explanation: If two sets A and B are equal then they are equivalent as well because all elements of A are in B and all elements of B are in A which means a number of elements in both sets are same.
