Question

What is the difference between a collection and a set? Give reasons to support your answer? 

Solution

Well-defined collections are sets.
Example:
The collection of good teachers in a school is not a set, It is a collection.
Thus, we can say that every set is a collection, but every  collection is not necessarily a set.
The collection of vowels in English alphabets is a set.
