Let R be a relation in N defined by $\text{x, y}\in\text{R}\Leftrightarrow\text{x}+2\text{y}=8.$ Express R and R−1 as sets of ordered pairs.
AnswerWe have,
$\text{x, y}\in\text{R}\Leftrightarrow\text{x}+2\text{y}=8$
Now,
x + 2y = 8
⇒ x = 8 - 2y
Putting y = 1, 2, 3, we get x = 6, 4, 2 respectively.
For y = 4, we get $\text{x}=0\notin\text{N}$
Also, for y > 4, $\text{x}\notin\text{N}$
$\therefore$ R = {(6, 1), (4, 2), (2, 3)}
Thus,
R-1 = {(1, 6), (2, 4), (3, 2)}
⇒ R-1 = {(3, 2), (2, 4), (1, 6)}

Let A and B be two sets such that n(A) = 3 and n(B) = 2. If (x, 1), (y, 2), (z, 1) are in A × B, find A and B, where x, y, z are distinct elements.
AnswerSince (x, 1), (y, 2), (z, 1) are elements of A × B. Therefore, $\text{x},\text{y},\text{z}\in\text{A}$ and $1,2\in\text{B}$
It is given that n(A) = 3 and n(B) = 2
$\therefore\ \text{x},\text{y},\text{z}\in\text{A}$ and n(A) = 3
$\Rightarrow\text{A}=\{\text{x},\text{y},\text{z}\}$
$1,2\in\text{B}$ and n(B) = 2
⇒ B = {1, 2}

Let A be the set of first five natural numbers and let R be a relation on A defined as follows:
$(\text{x, y})\in\text{R}\Leftrightarrow\text{x}\leq\text{y}$
Express R and R-1 as sets of ordered pairs. Determine also:
- The domain of R-1
- The range of R.
AnswerWe have,
A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} $\big[\because$ A is the set of first five natural number$\big]$
It is given that R be a relation on a defined as $(\text{x, y})\in\text{R}\Leftrightarrow\text{x}\leq\text{y}$
For the elements of the given sets A and A, we find that
$1=1,1<2,1<3,1<4,1<5,2$
$2=2,2<3,2<4,2<5$
$3=3,3<4,3<5,4=4,4<5,\text{ and }5=5$
$\therefore\ (1,1)\in\text{R},(1,2)\text{R}\in\text{(1,3)}\text{R}\in\text{R}(1,4)\in\text{R},(1,5)\in\text{R}$
$(2,2)\in\text{R},(2,3)\in\text{R},(2,4)\in\text{R},(2,5)\in\text{R}$
$(3,3)\in\text{R},(3,4)\in\text{R},(3,5)\in\text{R}$
$(4,5)\in\text{R}\text{ and }(5,5)\in\text{R}$
Thus,
$\text{R}=\big\{(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5),\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4),(2, 5),\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (4, 4), (4, 5), (5, 5)\big\}$
Also,
$\text{R}^{-1}=\big\{(1, 1), (2, 1), (3, 1), (4, 1), (5, 1), (2, 2), (3, 2),\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (4, 2), (5, 2), (3, 3), (4, 3), (5, 3), (4, 4), (5, 4), (5, 5)\big\}$
- Domain (R-1) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
- Range (R) = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

Let A = (3, 5) and B = (7, 11). Let $\text{R}=\{(\text{a, b}):\text{a}\in\text{A},\text{b}\in\text{B, a}-\text{b is odd}\}.$ Show that R is an empty relation from A into B.
AnswerWe have,
$\text{A} = \{3, 5\}, \text{ B} = \{7, 11\}$
and $\text{R}=\{(\text{a, b}):\text{a}\in\text{A},\text{b}\in\text{B, a}-\text{b is odd}\}$
For the elements of the given sets A and B, we find that
3 - 7 = -4, 3 - 11 = -8, 5 - 7 = -2 and 5 - 11 = -6
$\therefore\ (3,7)\notin\text{R},( 3,11)\not\in\text{R},(5,7)\not\in\text{R and }(5,11)\notin\text{R}$
Thus, R is an empty relation from A into B.

Let A = {1, 2, 3, ......., 14}. Define a relation on a set A by
$\text{R}=\text{(x, y)} : 3\text{x}= 0, \text{where x, y} ∈ \text{A}$
Depict this relationship using an arrow diagram. Write down its domain, co-domain and range.
AnswerWe have, 3x - y = 0 ⇒ 3x = y ⇒ y = 3x Putting x = 1, 2, 3, 4 we get y = 3, 6, 9, 12 respectively. For x > 4, we get y > 14 which does not belong to set A. $\therefore$ R = {(1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9), (4, 12)} The arrow diagram representing R is as follows: Clearly, Domain(R) = {1, 2, 3, 4} Co-domain(R) = {1, 2, 3, 4, ....., 14} and Range(R) = {3, 6, 9, 12}

If $\text{a}\in\{2,4,6,9\}$ and $\text{b}\in\{4,6,18,27\},$ then form the set of all ordered pairs (a, b) such that a divides b and a < b.
AnswerWe have,
$\text{a}\in\{2,4,6,9\}$
and, $\text{b}\in\{4,6,18,27\}$
Now, $\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}$ stands for 'a divides b'. For the elements of the given sets, we find that $\frac{2}{4},\frac{2}{6},\frac{2}{18},\frac{6}{18},\frac{9}{18}$ and $\frac{9}{27}$
$\therefore$ {(2, 4), (2, 6), (2, 18), (6, 18), (9, 18), (9, 27)} are the required set of ordered pairs (a, b).

Prove that, $(\text{a, b})\in\text{R}_1$ and $(\text{a},\text{b})\in\text{R}_1$ and $(\text{b},\text{c})\in\text{R}_1\Rightarrow(\text{a, c})\in\text{R}_1$ is not true for all $\text{a, b, c}\in\text{R}$
AnswerLet $\Big(1,\frac{-1}{2}\Big)\in\text{R}_1$ and $\Big(\frac{-1}{2},-4\Big)\in\text{R}_1$
$\Rightarrow1+1\times\frac{-1}{2}>0$ and $1+\Big(\frac{-1}{2}\Big)-4>0$

$=-3<0$
So, $(1,-4)\notin\text{R}_1$

Find the inverse relation R-1 in the following case:
$\text{R}=\{(\text{x, y}):\text{x},\text{ y}\in\text{N},\text{ x}+2\text{y}=8\}$
AnswerWe have,
$\text{R}=\{(\text{x, y}):\text{x},\text{ y}\in\text{N},\text{ x}+2\text{y}=8\}$
Now,
x + 2y = 8
⇒ x = 8 - 2y
Putting y = 1, 2, 3 we get x = 6, 4, 2 respectively.
For y = 4, we get $\text{x}=0\notin\text{N}$ Also for $\text{y}>4,\text{ x}\notin\text{N}$
$\therefore\ \text{R}=\{(6,1),(4,2),(2,3)\}$
Thus,
$\text{R}^{-1}=\{(1,6),(2,4),(3,2)\}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}^{-1}=\{(3,2),(2,4),(1,6)\}$

Find the inverse relation R-1 in the following case:
R is a relation from {11, 12, 13} to (8, 10, 12} defined by y = x - 3.
AnswerWe have,
R is a relation from {11, 12, 13} to (8, 10, 12} defined by y = x - 3.
Now,
y = x - 3
Putting x = 11, 12, 13 we gets y = 8, 9, 10 respectively.
$\Rightarrow(11,8)\in\text{R},(12,9)\notin\text{R}$
Thus,
$\text{R}=\{(11,8),(13,10)\}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}^{-1}=\{(8,11),(10,13)\}$

Determine the domain and range of the following relations: $\text{S}=\{(\text{a, b}):\text{b}=|\text{a}-1|,\text{ a}\in\text{Z and |a|}\leq3\}$
AnswerWe have,
$\text{S}=\{(\text{a, b}):\text{b}=|\text{a}-1|,\text{ a}\in\text{Z and |a|}\leq3\}$
⇒ a = -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3
For a = -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 we get
b = 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 1, 2 respectively.
Thus, S = {(-3, 4), (-2, 3), (-1, 2), (0, 1), (2, 1), (3, 2)}
Domain(S) = {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3} and
