Answer:

Explanation:

Given


U= \{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14\}

Required

Which of the sets is a subset

A set (Set A) is a said to be a subset of another set (Set B) if the content of that set (i.e. A) can be found in the other set (set B)

Using the above definition, we have:


U= \{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14\}


A = \{2,4\}

A is a subset of U because 2 and 4 are in U


U= \{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14\}


A = \{1,3,5,7\}

A is not a subset of U because 1,3,5 and 7 are not in U


U= \{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14\}


A = \{2,3,4\}

A is not a subset of U because 1,3,5 and 7 are in U

Hence, option A answers the question.
