Answer
Sets in the diagram are:
A = {α, x, a, 1}
B = {1, 4}
C = {4}
D = {8, 7, 2, α, x}
E = {α, x, a, 1}
F = {7, 2, 4}
G = {8}
(1) An empty set has no elements.
Looking at the list above all sets A, B, C, D, E, F, and G contain at least one element. Therefore there are no empty sets.
Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
(2) A singleton set contains exactly one element.
C = {4}
G = {8}
Total singleton sets = 2
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
(3) Equivalent sets have the same number of elements (n(A) = n(B)).
Pairs with same number of elements:
A and E (4 elements)
C and G (1 element)
Total pairs = 2
Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
(4) Equal sets must have the exact same elements.
Pairs with same elements:
A and E = {α, x, a, 1}
Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
