8. For real numbers 𝑥 and 𝑦, a relation 𝑅 is defined as 𝑥𝑅𝑦 if 𝑥 − 𝑦 + √2 is an irrational number. Write
whether 𝑅 is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.
9. Let the function 𝑓: ℝ ⟶ ℝ be defined by 𝑓(𝑥) = 4𝑥 − 1, ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝑅. Then show that 𝑓 is one - one.

equivalence relation.

15. Show that the function 𝑓: ℝ ⟶ ℝ defined by 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 +1 , ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝑅 is neither one-one nor onto.
16. Show that the relation 𝑅 defined by (𝑎, 𝑏)𝑅(𝑐, 𝑑) ⇔ 𝑎 + 𝑑 = 𝑏 + 𝑐 on the 𝐴 × 𝐴, where 𝐴 =
{1,2,3, … ,10} is an equivalence relation. Hence write the equivalence class of [(3,4)]; 𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐, 𝑑 ∈ 𝐴.
17. Check whether the relation 𝑅 in the set 𝑁 of natural numbers given by 𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑏): 𝑎 is divisor of 𝑏}
is reflexive, symmetric or transitive. Also determine whether 𝑅 is an equivalence relation.
18. A relation R is defined on a set of real number R as R = {(x, y) : x.y is an irrational number}. Check
whether R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive or not.
19. If N denotes the set of all natural numbers and R is the relation on N x N defined by (a, b)R (c, d), if
ad (b + c) = b c (a + d). Show that R is an equivalence relation.
Case Study
20. Read the following passage and answer the following questions.
Students of Grade 9, planned to plant saplings along straight lines, parallel to each other to one side of
the playground ensuring that they had enough play area. Let us assume that they planted one of the rows
of the saplings along the line 𝑦 = 𝑥 − 4. Let 𝐿 be the set of all lines which are parallel on the ground
and 𝑅 be a relation on 𝐿.
(i) Let relation 𝑅 be defined by 𝑅 = {(𝐿1 , 𝐿2 ): 𝐿1 ∥ 𝐿2 where 𝐿1 , 𝐿2 ∈ 𝐿}. What is the type of relation ?
(ii) Let = {(𝐿1 , 𝐿2 ) : 𝐿1 ⊥ 𝐿2 where 𝐿1 , 𝐿2 ∈ 𝐿}. What is the type of relation ?
(iii) (a) Check whether the function 𝑓: ℝ → ℝ defined by 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 − 4 is bijective or not.
OR
(iii) (b) Let 𝑓: ℝ → ℝ be defined by 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 + 4. Find the range of 𝑓(𝑥).
