9. A set A is said to be a subset of a set B if every element of A is also an element of B. A ⊂ B.

10. A ⊂ B and B ⊂ A ⇔ A = B

11. every set A is a subset of itself, i.e., A ⊂ A. Since the empty set Φ has no elements, we agree to say that Φ is a subset of every set.

12. Power Set P(A) : Consider the set {1, 2}. Let us write down all the subsets of the set {1, 2}. We know that Φ is a subset of every set . So, Φ is a subset of {1, 2}. We see that {1} and { 2 }are also subsets of {1, 2}. Also, we know that every set is a subset of itself. So, { 1, 2 } is a subset of {1, 2}. Thus, the set { 1, 2 } has, in all, four subsets, viz. Φ, { 1 }, { 2 } and { 1, 2 }. The set of all these subsets is called the power set of {1, 2}.

13. The difference of the sets A and B in this order is the set of elements which belong to A but not to B. Symbolically, we write A – B and read as "A minus B".
