Answer

Therefore, set A is a proper subset of set B.

Steps

Step 1 :A set A is said to be a proper subset of another set B if every element of A is in B, but B contains at least one element not in A.

Step 2 :We can see that every element of set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} is in set B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}.

Step 3 :Additionally, set B contains elements (6, 7, 8, 9, 10) that are not in set A.

Step 4 :Therefore, set A is a proper subset of set B.
