Questions:
1. Let L be the set of all lines in a plane and R be the relation in L defined as R = {(L1, L2 )
: L1 is perpendicular to L2 }. Show that R is symmetric but neither reflexive nor
transitive. (CO1)
2. Show that the relation R in the set Z of integers given by R = {(a, b) : 2 divides a – b} is
an equivalence relation. (CO1)
4. Let R be the relation in the set {1, 2, 3, 4} given by R = {(1, 2), (2, 2), (1, 1), (4,4), (1, 3),
(3, 3), (3, 2)}. Choose the correct answer. (CO1)
(A) R is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive.
(B) R is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.
(C) R is symmetric and transitive but not reflexive.
(D) R is an equivalence relation.
5. Show that the function f : R → R, defined as f(x) = x2 , is neither one-one nor onto. (CO1)
6. In each of the following cases, state whether the function is one-one, onto or bijective.
Justify your answer. (CO1)
• f : R → R defined by f(x) = 3 – 4x
• f : R → R defined by f(x) = 1 + x2
7. Show that if f: A → B and g : B → C are one-one, then gof : A → C is also one-one. (CO1)
8. Find the number of all onto functions from the set {1, 2, 3, ... , n} to itself. (CO1)
