A complete set of financial statements comprises:

a statement of financial position as at the end of the period;
a statement of profit and loss
a Other Comprehensive Income for the period. Other comprehensive income is those items of income and expense that are not recognised in profit or loss in accordance with IFRS Standards.
a statement of changes in equity for the period;
a statement of cash flows for the period;
notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information; and
a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding comparative period when an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively or makes a retrospective restatement of items in its financial statements, or when it reclassifies items in its financial statements.

Whereas, a Single set of statement consists of all the above except that the entity presents a single combined statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income.

Its read as "A single combined statement of P&L and OCI (Other Comprehensive Income). So, in single set, there is only one statement which contains bothe P&L and OCI together.
And in Complete set, there are different statements for P&L and OCI respectively.
