TOPIC: RELATION
Equivalence Class: Collection of all elements those are related to given elements by defined relation.
Ex. Consider a set A = {1,2,3,4,5, }, A relation R:A→A, define as R = {(a, b) : a + b= even , a,b ∈ A }
TOPIC: FUNCTION
➢ Consider the set A containing n elements. Then, the total number of injective (one-one) functions from
A onto itself is = n!
➢ The total number of injective mappings from the set containing 3 elements into the set containing 4
elements is 4𝑃 3 = = 4! = 24.
➢ Let A = {1, 2, 3, ...n} and B = {a, b}. Then the number of surjections (onto) from A into B is = 2𝑛 − 2
➢ If the set A contains 5 elements and the set B contains 6 elements, then the number of one-one and onto
mappings from A to B is = 0 (i.e. no of element in B > no of element in A.)

MATRIX AND DETERMINANTS
Recall
Theorem (1): For any square matrix A with real number entries,
(A + A′) is a symmetric matrix
(A – A′) is a skew symmetric matrix.
Theorem (2): Any square matrix can be expressed as the sum of a symmetric and a skew symmetric matrix.

Such that: P + Q = 2(A + A′) + 2(A - A′) = A

NOTE: (1) All positive integral powers of a symmetric matrix are symmetric.
(2) All odd positive integral powers of a skew-symmetric matrix are skew-symmetric
(3) if A and B are two symmetric matrices then AB−BA is a skew symmetric matrix.

PROBABILITY
➢ Conditional probability: let A and B are two events associated with a sample space S. Then the
probability of occurrence of event B under the condition that A has already occurred such that P(A)≠0,
P(A⋂B)
is called the conditional probability of B and is denoted by P(B/A) P(A) .
Similarly
P(A⋂B)
conditional probability of A under condition B is given by P(A/B) = P(B) .
➢ Multiplication theorem of Probability: let A and B are two events associated with a sample space S.
Then, from above P(A⋂B)=P(A).P(B/A) where (P(A) ≠ 0).
If A and B are two independent events then P(A⋂B)=P(A).P(B)
Remember points:
P(not A) = P(A/) =1−P(A)
P(not B) = P(B/) =1−P(B)
P(A) but not B = P(A∩B’)= P(A)−P(A⋂B)
P(B) but not A = P(B∩A’)= P(B)−P(A⋂B)
P(neither A nor B) = P(A/∩B/) = 1 −𝑃(𝐴 ∪ 𝐵)/
P(notA or not B) = P(A/∪B/) = 1 −𝑃(𝐴 ∩ 𝐵)/
Note : see carefully in problem, the events are independent or
not
➢ Some Important Results: If A and B are two independent events then
• A but not B = P(A∩B’)= 1−P(A⋂B)
• B but not A = P(A’∩B)= P(A’).P(B)
• Neither A nor B = P(A’∩B’)= P(A’).P(B’)
• P(A∩B)’= P(A’).P(B’)
• P(A⋃B)= 1−P(A’).P(B’)
• P (E1∪E2∪……∪ En) =1− P (E1′ ).P (E2′ ).P (E3′ ) ……………………..P (En′ )
Let E1,E2,E3………..En be n mutually exclusive and exhaustive events associated with sample space S . Let X
