Prove that if $A\subseteq B$, and $A$ is uncountable, then $B$ is uncountable
"Prove that if $A\subseteq B$, and $A$ is uncountable, then $B$ is uncountable"
I think that for an answer we could reason with cardinality as follows Suppose that $B$ is countable, then $\mid B\mid\leq\mid\mathbb{N\mid} $.
But if $A\subseteq B$, then $|A|\leq|B|\leq|\mathbb{N\mid}$ that is untrue if $A$ is uncountable, since any uncountable set should have higher cardinality then natural numbers.
Is it correct?
Solution 1:
$A\subseteq B$
Then the inclusion map $I :A \to B$ defined by $I(a) =a $ for all $a\in A $ is an one-to-one map.
Hence, $card(A) \le card(B) $
Given, $A$ is uncountable i.e $\aleph_{0} < card(A) $
Hence, $\aleph_{0} < card(A)\le card(B) $
So, $\aleph_{0} < card(B) $ implies $B$ is also uncountable.
Note: $\aleph_{0} = card (\mathbb{N})$
