The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "If A is a subset of B and B belongs to C, then A belongs to C" is true or false, we can analyze the definitions of subsets and set membership step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Definitions**: - A set \( A \) is a subset of a set \( B \) (denoted as \( A \subseteq B \)) if every element of \( A \) is also an element of \( B \). - An element \( B \) belongs to a set \( C \) (denoted as \( B \in C \)) if \( B \) is one of the elements contained in the set \( C \). 2. **Given Information**: - We are given that \( A \subseteq B \) and \( B \in C \). 3. **Example Construction**: - Let's consider an example where \( A = \{2\} \), \( B = \{1, 2\} \), and \( C = \{0, 1, 2\} \). - Here, \( A \subseteq B \) because the only element of \( A \) (which is 2) is also in \( B \). - Also, \( B \in C \) because \( B \) (which is the set \( \{1, 2\} \)) is indeed one of the elements in \( C \). 4. **Checking if \( A \in C \)**: - Now we need to check if \( A \) belongs to \( C \). - The set \( C \) contains the elements \( 0, 1, 2 \), but it does not contain the set \( A = \{2\} \) as an element. - Therefore, \( A \notin C \). 5. **Conclusion**: - Since we have found a case where \( A \subseteq B \) and \( B \in C \) but \( A \notin C \), we conclude that the statement "If \( A \subseteq B \) and \( B \in C \), then \( A \in C \)" is **false**. ### Final Answer: The statement is **false**.
