Question 395475
Given the following sets, select the statement below that is NOT true. 
A = {r, i, s, k, e, d}, B = {r, i, s, e}, C = {s, i, r}
B ⊂ A or A ⊂ C or B ⊆ A or C ⊆ A or C ⊆ B

Let's go through them:

B &#8834; A

Substitute the actual sets for the capital letters that represent them.

{r, i, s, e} &#8834; {r, i, s, k, e, d}

That is true because all four elements listed on the left of this
symbol &#8834; are all on the right of that symbol, and B doesn't contain
all of A, so it's true that B is a proper subset of A.  

-----------------------------------

A &#8834; C

Substitute the actual sets for the capital letters that represent them.

{r, i, s, k, e, d}  &#8834; {s, i, r}

That is very false because the elements listed on the left of this
symbol &#8834; are certainly not all on the right of that symbol, and B doesn't
contain all of A, so it's false that B is a proper subset of A. 

So that one is false

----------------------------------

B &#8838; A

That means "B &#8834; A or B = A" and we've already shown that B &#8834; A is true above.

----------------------------------

C &#8838; A

Substitute the actual sets for the capital letters that represent them.

{s, i, r} &#8838; {r, i, s, k, e, d}

That is true because all three elements listed on the left of this
symbol &#8838; are all on the right of that symbol. The only difference
between the symbols &#8838; and &#8834; is that the first one allows the set on
the left to actually be equal to the set on the right. This symbol &#8834; 
does not.  It requires that the set on the left have fewer elements 
than the one on the right.

------------------------------------ 

C &#8838; B

Substitute the actual sets for the capital letters that represent them

{s, i, r} &#8838; {r, i, s, e}

That is true because all three elements listed on the left of this
symbol &#8838; are all on the right of that symbol.

---------------------------------

So A &#8834; C is the only one that's false.
