Let F_n be the Farey sequence of order n. For S ⊆ F_n, let 𝓠(S) be the set of rational numbers x/y with x, y ∈ S, x ≤ y and y ≠ 0. Recently, Wang found all subsets S of F_n with |S| = n + 1 for which 𝓠(S) ⊆ F_n. Motivated by this work, we try to determine the structure of S ⊆ F_n such that |S| = n and 𝓠(S) ⊆ F_n. In this paper, we determine all sets S ⊆ F_n satisfying these conditions for n ∈ {p, 2p}, where p is prime.
