Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
Given the set \( A = \{1, 2, \{3, 4\}, \{5, 6, 7\}\} \), select the statement that is true.
1. \( \{3\} \in A \)
2. \( \{3, 4\} \subseteq A \)
3. \( \{1, 2\} \subseteq A \)
4. \( \{1, 2\} \in A \)
**Solution:**
- Statement 1: \( \{3\} \in A \)
- False, because \( \{3\} \) is not an element of \( A \). \( A \) contains the set \( \{3, 4\} \), not \( \{3\} \).
- Statement 2: \( \{3, 4\} \subseteq A \)
- False, because \( \{3, 4\} \) is an element of \( A \), not a subset of \( A \).
- Statement 3: \( \{1, 2\} \subseteq A \)
- True, because both 1 and 2 are individual elements of \( A \).
- Statement 4: \( \{1, 2\} \in A \)
- False, because the set \( \{1, 2\} \) is not an element of \( A \); rather, 1 and 2 are separate elements.
Thus, the correct statement is: **\( \{1, 2\} \subseteq A \)**.
