girls and boys. As part of his college project, Satish forms two sets with these
students.

𝑎1, 𝑎2 , 𝑎3 , 𝑎4 , 𝑎5 𝑏1, 𝑏2 , 𝑏3 , 𝑏4

Society I Society II

Let A = { 𝑎1 , 𝑎2 , 𝑎3 , 𝑎4 , 𝑎5 } and B = {𝑏1 , 𝑏, 𝑏3 , 𝑏4 } where 𝑎𝑖 ′𝑠 and 𝑏𝑗 ′𝑠 are the school


going students of first and second society.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:


(i) Satish wants to know the number of reflexive relations defined on set A. How
many such relations are possible?
(ii) Let 𝑅: 𝐴 → 𝐴, 𝑅 = {(𝑥, 𝑦): 𝑥 and y are students of same sex}. Then, check if R
is symmetric.
(iii) Satish and his friend Ram are interested to know the number of symmetric
relations, defined on both the sets A and B separately. Satish decides to find
the number of symmetric relation on set A, while Ram decides to find the
number of symmetric relations on set B. What is the difference between their
results?
OR
(iv) To help Satish in his project, Ram decides to form bijective functions from set
A to itself. How many such functions are possible?
