Best Answer

A proper subset is a subset that includes some BUT NOT ALL of the elements of the original set. If the subset is finite, its order must be smaller than that of the original set but that need not be the case if the two sets are infinite. For example, even integers are a proper subset of all integers but they both contain an infinite umber of elements.

What is a proper subsets?

Proper subset definitionA proper subset of a set A is a subset of A that is not equal to A. In other words, if B is a proper subset of A, then all elements of B are in Abut A contains at least one element that is not in B.For example, if A={1,3,5} then B={1,5} is a proper subset of A. The set C={1,3,5} is a subset of A, but it is not a proper subset of A since C=A. The set D={1,4} is not even a subset of A, since 4 is not an element of A.
