SOLUTION
1.
Given a relation R defined on the set A = 1, 2, 3 defined as
R = ( x, y ) : x − y  1, x, y  A .
Thus, R = (1, 3) , ( 3, 1) .

2.
We have, R3 = {(x, |x|) ; x is a real number}
Clearly, domain of R3 = R
Now, x  R and |x|  0
Therefore, Range of R3 is [0, )

3.
Given, R = {(x, x3): x is a prime number less than 10}
Prime numbers less than 10 are 2, 3, 5 and 7
∴ R = {(2, 23), (3, 33), (5, 53), (7, 73)}
R = {(2, 8), (3, 27), (5, 125), (7, 343)}
So, Domain of relation R = {2, 3, 5, 7}
Range of relation R = {8, 27, 125, 343}

4.
n( A  A) = n( A).n( A) = 32 = 9
So, the total number of subsets of A×A is 29 and subset of A×A is a relation over the set A.

5.
We have, n(A) = m and n(B) = n
n(A×B) = n(A) . n(B) = mn
Total number of relations from A to B = Number of subsets of A×B = 2mn
So, total number of non-empty relations = 2mn - 1.

6.
(i) R = {(2, 2), (2, 4), (2, 6), (2, 8), (3, 3), (3, 6), (3, 9), (4, 4), (4, 8), (5, 5), (6, 6), (7, 7), (8, 8), (9, 9)}
(ii) Domain of R = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} = A
(iii) Range of R = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} = A
(iv) R–1 = {(y, x) : ( x, y )  R }
= {(2, 2), (4, 2), (6, 2), (8, 2), (3, 3), (6, 3), (9, 3), (4, 4), (8, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6), (7, 7), (8, 8), (9, 9)}
R is reflexive,
R is not symmetric
R is transitive.
As (4, 8) ∈ R, but (8, 4) not.
Thus, R is not symmetric.
But R is reflexive and transitive.

R = (1, 2 ) , ( 2, 2 ) , (1, 1) , ( 4, 4 ) , (1, 3) , ( 3, 3) , ( 3, 2 )
It is seen that ( a , a )  R for every a  1, 2, 3, 4.
 R is reflexive.
It is seen that (1, 2 )  but ( 2, 1)  R.
 R is not symmetric.
Also, it is observed that ( a , b ) , ( b , c )  R  ( a , c )  R
for all a , b , c  1, 2, 3, 4.
 R is transitive.

8.
For every value of x belongs to real numbers.
x − x + 2 i.e. 2 is an irrational number.
Therefore, R is reflexive.
Now, let’s say x = 2 and y = 2
then x − y + 2 = 2 2 − 2 which is an irrational number.
But when y = 2 and x = 2
then x − y + 2 = 2 which is not an irrational number.
Therefore, R is not symmetric.

Now, let x − y + 2 is an irrational number

and y − z + 2 is an irrational number
In the above case,
Let x = 0, y = 2 2 and z = 2
Then x − z + 2 is not an irrational number.
Therefore, R is not transitive.

9.
Given aRb  a is brother of b
aRa  a is brother of a
which is not possible.
So, R is not reflexive.
aRb  a is brother of b
This does not mean b is also a brother of a as b can be a sister of a .
Hence, R is not symmetric.
aRb  a is brother of b
and bRc  b is brother of c .
So, a is brother of c .
Hence, R is transitive.

10.
Here, ( a, a )  R, as a  a + 1
( a , b )  R, then a = b + 1
But b  a + 1
Thus ( b, a )  R
If we take, a = 1 and b = 1 + 1 = 2
And, if b = 2
a=2+1=3
⸫ (1, 2 )  R, ( 2,3)  R
But (1,3)  R
Thus, R is not transitive
Thus, R is neither reflexive nor symmetric, nor transitive.

11.
In this if ‘a’ is a person, then ‘a’ can’t be 7 cm taller than ‘a’.
Thus ( a, a )  R
So, R is not reflexive
Also, if ( a, b )  R, then ( b, a )  R
So. R is not symmetric
Now, if ( a, b )  R and ( b, c )  R
This means a is 7 cm taller than b
And b is 7 cm taller than c
Then a is 14 cm taller than c
Thus ( a, c )  R
Thus, R is not transitive

12.
R is reflexive as (T1, T1) ∈ R
If (T1, T2) ∈ R then (T2, T1) ∈ R
As both are congruent
Thus, R is symmetric also.
Now, If T1 is congruent to T2 and T2 is congruent to T3 then T1 is congruent to T3
Thus, If (T1, T2) ∈ R, (T2, T3) ∈ R
Then, (T1, T3) also ∈ R
So, R is transitive also.

13.
R = {(x, y); x + y = 10, x, y ∈ N}
R = {(1, 9), (2, 8), (3, 7), (4, 6), (5, 5), (6, 4), (7, 3), (8, 2), (9, 1)}
It’s clear (1, 1) ∉ R
So, R is not reflexive.
Since, (x, y) ∈ R ⇒ (y, x) ∈ R
Therefore, R is symmetric.
Now (1, 9) ∈ R, (9, 1) ∈ R but (1, 1) ∉ R
Therefore, R is not transitive.

14.
Clearly (x, x)  R  x W . So, R is reflexive.
Let (x, y)  R, then (y, x)  R as x and y have at least one letter in common.
So, R is symmetric.
But R is not transitive
for example : Let x = DELHI, y = DWARKA and z = PARK
then (x, y)  R and (y, z)  R but (x, z)  R.

15.
Reflexive: As a + b = a + b
⸫ (a, b) R (a, b)
⸫ R is reflexive
Symmetric: Let (a, b) R (c, d)
a+d =b+c
 c+b = d +a
 ( c, d ) R ( a , b )
⸫ R is symmetric
Transitive:
Let (a, b) R (c, d) & (c, d) R (e, f)
 a+d =b+c & c+ f = d +e
On Adding, we get
 a+d +c+ f =b+c+d +e
 a+ f =b+e
 ( a, b ) R ( e, f )
⸫ R is transitive

Since x – x = 0  Z, (x, x)  A
 A is reflexive.
(x, y)  A
x–yZ y–xZ
 (y, x)  A
So, A is symmetric.
Now, (x, y)  A, (y, z)  A
 x – y  Z, y – z  Z
 x – z  Z  (x, z)  A
 A is transitive relation.
 A is an equivalence relation.

(0, 1)  B
0 = (0) (1), 0  Q
But (1, 0)  B
 B is not symmetric.
 B is not equivalence.

18.
R is reflexive if it contains ( x, x ) , ( y, y ) , ( z, z )
( x, y )  R , ( y , z )  R
 R is symmetric if ( y, x ) , ( z. y )  R.
Now, R = ( x, x ) , ( y, y )( z, z ) , ( y, x ) , ( z , y ) , ( y, z ) , ( x, y )
R will be transitive if ( z, x ) ; ( x, z )  R.
Thus, R becomes an equivalence relation by adding
( x, x ) , ( y, y ) , ( z, z ) , ( y, x ) , ( z, y ) , ( x, z ) , ( z, x ) .
Hence, the total number of ordered pairs is 7.

R = [(-4, 4), (-3, 3), (3, -2), (0, 1), (0, 0), (1, 1), (4, 4), (3, 3)}
For reflexive, add (-2, -2), (-4, -4), (-3, -3)
For symmetric, add (4, -4), (3, -3), (-2, 3), (1, 0)
21.
P = {x : x is an even natural number and 1 < x < 9} = {2, 4, 6, 8}
So, the set P has 4 elements
Hence, the number of reflexive relations on set P = 24 − 4 = 212

X = {x : x = log 2 n, n  {1, 2, 4}}

X has 3 elements

R5 = {(1,1), (2,2) , (3,3) , (1,2), (1,3),(2,1),(2,3) (3,1),(3,2)}
