1. (1,2,3,4,5) subset (2,3,5)

This statement is false. The set on the left-hand side contains elements that are not present in the set on the right-hand side. Specifically, the elements 1 and 4 are in the left set but not in the right set.

2. (11,14,16) subset (11,12,13,14,15,16......)

This statement is false. The symbol (subset) denotes a proper subset, meaning that the left set should be a subset of the right set but not equal to it. In this case, the left set is equal to the right set, so it is not a proper subset.

3. ( 22,23,27,29) subset (22,23,27,29)

This statement is true. The symbol ( subset) denotes a subset, meaning that the left set is a subset of the right set. In this case, both sets contain the same elements, so the left set is a subset of the right set.

4. (f, k, m, n)subset , empty set

This statement is false. The symbol ( subset) denotes a proper subset, meaning that the left set should be a subset of the right set but not equal to it. In this case, the left set is not a subset of the empty set because it contains elements that are not present in the empty set.
