Question 11 Mark
R is a relation from {11, 12, 13} to {8, 10, 12} defined by y = x - 3. Then, R-1 is:
  1. {(8, 11), (10, 13)}
  2. {(11, 8), (13, 10)}
  3. {(10, 13), (8, 11), (12, 10)}
  4. none of these.
Answer
  1. {(8, 11), (10, 13)}

Solution:

R is a relation from {11, 12, 13} to {8, 10, 12}, defined by y = x - 3

Now, we have,

11 - 3 = 8

13 - 3 = 10

So, R = {(13, 10), (11, 8)}

$\therefore$ R-1 = {(10, 13), (8, 11)}

Question 21 Mark
Let R be a relation on N defined by x + 2y = 8. The domain of R is:
  1. {2, 4, 8}
  2. {2, 4, 6, 8}
  3. {2, 4, 6}
  4. {1, 2, 3, 4}
Answer
  1. {2, 4, 6}

Solution:

x + 2y = 8

⇒ x = 8 - 2y

For y = 1, x = 6

y = 2, x = 4

y = 3, x = 2

Then R = {(2, 3), (4, 2), (6, 1)}

$\therefore$ Domain of R = {2, 4, 6}

Solution:

If R is a relation from set A to set B, then R is always a subset of A × B.

Let A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {1, 3, 5}. If relation R from A to B is given by = {(1, 3), (2, 5), (3, 3)}, Then R-1 is:
  1. {(3, 3), (3, 1), (5, 2)}
  2. {(1, 3), (2, 5), (3, 3)}
  3. {(1, 3), (5, 2)}
  4. none of these.
Answer
  1. {(3, 3), (3, 1), (5, 2)}

Solution:

A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {1, 3, 5}

R = {(1, 3), (2, 5), (3, 3)}

$\therefore$ R-1 = {(3, 3), (3, 1), (5, 2)}

If the set A has p elements, B has q elements, then the number of elements in A × B is:
  1. p + q
  2. p + q + 1
  3. pq

Question 61 Mark
If R is a relation on the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} given by x R y ⇔ y = 3x, then R =
  1. [(3, 1), (6, 2), (8, 2), (9, 3)]
  2. [(3, 1), (6, 2), (9, 3)]
  3. [(3, 1), (2, 6), (3, 9)]
  4. none of these.
Answer
  1. none of these.

Solution:

A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

x R y ⇔ y = 3x

For x = 1, y = 3

For x = 2, y = 6

For x = 3, y = 9

Thus, R = {(1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9)}

Question 71 Mark
If R is a relation on a finite set having n elements, then the number of relations on A is:
  1. $2^{\text{n}}$
  2. $2^{\text{n}^2}$
  3. $\text{n}^2$
  4. $\text{n}^\text{n}$
Answer
  1. $2^{\text{n}^2}$

Solution:

Given, A finite set with n elements

Its Cartesian product with itself will have n2 elements.

$\therefore$ Number of relations on $\text{A}=2^{\text{n}^2}$

Question 81 Mark
If R is a relation from a finite set A having m elements of a finite set B having n elements, then the number of relations from A to B is:
  1. 2mn
  2. 2mn - 1
  3. 2mn
  4. mn
Answer
  1. 2mn

Solution:

Given, n(A) = m

n(B) = n

$\therefore$ n(A × B) = mn

Then, the number of relations from A to is 2mn

Question 91 Mark
If $\text{R}=\{(\text{x, y}):\text{x, y}\in\text{Z},\text{ x}^2+\text{y}^2\leq4\}$ is a relation on Z, then the domain of R is:
  1. {0, 1, 2}
  2. {0, -1, -2}
  3. {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}
  4. none of these.
Answer
  1. {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}

Solution:

$\text{R}=\{(\text{x, y}):\text{x, y}\in\text{Z},\text{ x}^2+\text{y}^2\leq4\}$

We know that,

$(-2)^2+0^2\leq4$

$\Rightarrow(2)^2+0^2\leq4$

$\Rightarrow(-1)^2+0^2\leq4$

$\Rightarrow(1)^2+0^2\leq4$

$\Rightarrow(-1)^2+(1)^2\leq4$

$\Rightarrow0^2+0^2\leq4$

$\Rightarrow(1)^2+(1)^2\leq4$

$\Rightarrow(-1)^2+(-1)^2\leq4$

Hence, domain(R) = {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}

Question 101 Mark
If A = {1, 2, 4}, B = {2, 4, 5}, C = {2, 5}, then (A - B) × (B - C) is:
  1. {(1, 2), (1, 5), (2, 5)}
  2. {(1, 4)}
  3. (1, 4)
  4. none of these.
Answer
  1. {(1, 4)}

Solution:

A = {1, 2, 4}, B = {2, 4, 5} and C = {2, 5}

(A - B) = {1}

(B - C) = {4}

So, (A - B) × (B - C) = {(1, 4)}

Question 111 Mark
If A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {1, 4, 6, 9} and R is a relation from A to B defined by 'x' is greater than y. The range of R is
  1. {1, 4, 6, 9}
  2. {4, 6, 9}
  3. {1}
  4. none of these.
Answer
  1. {1}

Solution:

A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {1, 4, 6, 9}

R is a relation from A to B defined by: x is greater than y.

Then R = {(2, 1), (3, 1)}

$\therefore$ Range (R) = {1}

Question 121 Mark
A relation $\phi$ from C to R is defined by $\text{x }\phi\text{ y}\Leftrightarrow|\text{x}|=\text{y}.$ Which one is correct?
  1. $(2+3\text{i})\ \phi\ 13$
  2. $3\phi\ (-3)$
  3. $(1+\text{i})\ \phi\ 2$
  4. $\text{i}\ \phi\ 1$
Answer
  1. $\text{i}\ \phi\ 1$

Solution:

We have,

$|\text{i}|=\sqrt{1^2+0^2}=1$

Thus, $\text{i }\phi\ 1$ satisfies $\text{x}\ \phi\text{ y}\Leftrightarrow|\text{x}|=\text{y}$

  3. {2, 3, 4}
  4. {2, 3, 4, 5}

2 is relatively prime to 3, 7

3 is relatively prime to 7, 10

4 is relatively prime to 3, 7

5 is relatively prime to 3, 6, 7

So, domain of R is {2, 3, 4, 5}
