A proper subset B of a set A is a set all of whose elements are elements of A nad there are elements of A that are not elements of B. It follows, then, that an improper subset must be the whole set, A. That is, A is an improper subset of A
Recall that Improper subset of A is the set that contains all and only elements of A. Namely A. So does the empty set have all of A provided A is not empty? Of course not! The empty set can be only considered an improper subset of itself.
If you have a set S, the only improper subset of S is S itself. An improper subset contains all elements of S and no others. It is therefore equivalent to S. For example if S ={1,2,3} then the improper subset is {1,2,3}, and an example proper subset is {1,2}.
