Question

What is the difference between a subset and a proper​ subset?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Subset (maths): A set of which all elements are contained in another set.

Proper subset (maths): A proper subset is where all the elements of one subset are entirely contained within another subset, and the other subset also contains more items

Example A={1, 2, 3, 4} is a proper subset of B={1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

A proper subset can be represented as A⊆B
