Which of the following has only one subset?a){ }b){5}c){4,5}d){0}Corre...
- Every set has the empty set as a subset. So if a set has 1 element, like {0}, then it will have 2 subsets: itself and the empty set, which is denoted by { }.
- So, if a set has only one subset, then this set must be the empty set.

Which of the following has only one subset?a){ }b){5}c){4,5}d){0}Corre...
Explanation:
A subset is a set that contains elements of another set. For example, {2, 4} is a subset of {1, 2, 3, 4}. The empty set, denoted by { }, is also considered a subset of any set.
a) { } - This set has no elements, and the only subset it has is the empty set itself. Therefore, it has only one subset.
b) {5} - This set has one element, and its subsets are the empty set and the set itself. Therefore, it has two subsets.
c) {4, 5} - This set has two elements, and its subsets are { }, {4}, {5}, and {4, 5}. Therefore, it has four subsets.
d) {0} - This set has one element, and its subsets are { } and {0}. Therefore, it has two subsets.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' because it has only one subset, which is the empty set.

All sets have itself and empty set as their subsets (totally 2^n subsets where n is number of elements)
so a singleton set as of option b and d has two subsets but a is an empty set which has one and only subset (2^0 = 1 , which is an empty set only)
