MCQ 11 Mark
Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion $(A)$ is followed by a statement of reason $(R).$ Mark the correct choice as:
Consider the set $A = \{1, 3, 5\}.$
Assertion: The number of reflexive relations on set $A$ is $2^9.$
Reason: $A$ relation is said to be reflexive if $xR, \forall\ \text{x}\in\text{A}.$
  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A.$
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A.$
  • C
    $A $ is true but $R$ is false.
  • $A$ is false and $R$ is true.
Answer
Correct option: D.
$A$ is false and $R$ is true.
By definition, a relation in $A$ is said to be reflexive if $xRx, \forall\ \text{x}\in\text{A}.$
So $R$ is true.
The number of reflexive relations on a set containing $n$ elements is $2^{n2-n}.$
Here $n = 3.$
The number of reflexive relations on a set $A = 2^{9-3} = 2^6.$
Hence $A$ is false.

Question 31 Mark
Directions: In the following questions, the Assertions (A) and Reason(s) (R) have been put forward. Read both the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
Assertion: $\text{u}=\text{f}(\cot\text{x})\&\text{f}(1)=\sqrt2$ and $\text{g}(\sqrt{2})=2$ then $\Big(\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dv}}\Big)_{\text{x}=\frac{\text{x}}{4}}=1.$

MCQ 81 Mark
Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion $(A)$ is followed by a statement of reason $(R)$. Mark the correct choice as :
Consider the function $f : R > R$ defined as $f(x) = x^3$.
Assertion: $f(x)$ is a one $-$ one function.
Reason: $f(x)$ is a one $-$ one function if co $-$ domain $=$ range.
  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$.
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$.
  • $A$ is true but $R$ is false.
  • D
    $A$ is false and $R$ is true.
Answer
Correct option: C.
$A$ is true but $R$ is false.
$f(x)$ is a one $-$ one function if
$f(x_1) = f(x_2) > x_1 = x_2,$
Hence $R$ is false.
Let $f(x_1) = f(x_2)$ for some $\text{x}_{1},\text{x}_{2}\in\text{R}$
$\Rightarrow (x_1)^{3 }= (x_2)^3$
$\Rightarrow x_1 = x_2$
Hence $f(x)$ is one $-$ one.
Hence $A$ is true.

Question 131 Mark
Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:
Let W be the set of words in the English dictionary. A relation R is defined on W as R = {$(\text{x},\text{y})\in\text{W}\times\text{W}$such that x and y have at least one letter in common}.
Assertion: R is reflexive.
Reason: R is symmetric.
  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. A is false and R is true.
Answer
  1. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Solution:
For any word x and x have atleast one (all) letter in common
$\therefore(\text{x},\text{x})\in\text{R},\forall\ \text{x}\in\text{W}$ 
$\therefore$ R is reflexive
Let $(\text{x},\text{y})\in\text{R},\text{x},\text{y}\in\text{W}$
⇒ x and y have atleast one letter in common
⇒ y and x have atleast one letter in common
$\Rightarrow(\text{y},\text{x})\in\text{R}$
$\therefore$ R is symmetric
Hence A is true, R is true; R is not a correct explanation for A.

Question 151 Mark
Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:
Let R be the relation in the set of integers Z given by R = {a, b) : 2 divides a - b}.
Assertion: R is a reflexive relation.
Reason: A relation is said to be reflexive if xRx, $\forall\ \text{x}\in\text{Z}.$

Answer
  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Solution:
By definition, a relation in Z is said to be reflexive if xRx, $\forall\ \text{x}\in\text{Z}.$
So R is true.
a - a = 0
⇒ 2 divides a - a
⇒ aRa.
Hence R is reflexive and A is true. R is the correct explanation for A.

Question 201 Mark
Directions: In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:
If A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {4,5, 6, 7} and f = {(1, 4), (2,5), (3, 6)} is a function from A to B.
Assertion: f(x) is a one - one function.
Reason: f(x) is an onto function.
  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. A is false and R is true.
Answer
  1. A is true but R is false.
Solution:
Given, A= {1, 2, 3}, B = {4, 5, 6, 7}
and f : A  → B is defined as f = {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)}
i.e., f(1) = 4, f(2) = 5 and f(3) = 6.
It can be seen that the images of distinct elements of A under f are distinct.
So, f is one - one.
So, A is true.
Range of f = {4, 5, 6}.
Co - domain = {4, 5, 6, 7}.
Since co - domain $\neq$ range, f(x) is not an onto function.
Hence R is false.
