(a) Infinity
(b) 0
(c) 1
(d) 2

Question 3.

which one of the following is true?
(a) R = {(0, 0), (0, -1), (0, 1), (-1, 0), (-1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 0)}
(b) R = {(0, 0), (0, -1), (0, 1), (-1, 0), (1, 0)
(c) Domain of R is {0, -1, 1, 2}

Solution:
(a) Range of R is {0, -1, 1}
Hint.

Given A = {0, -1, 1, 2 }

the relation R is given by x R y = |x2 + y2| ≤ 2
∴ x, y must be 0 or 1
∴ Range of R is {0, – 1 , 1 }

Question 4.

If f(x) = |x – 2| + |x + 2|, x ∈ R, then

Solution:

Hint.
f(x) = |x – 2| + |x + 2|

Question 5.
Let R be the set of all real numbers. Consider the following subsets of the
plane R x R: S = {(x, y): y = x + 1 and 0 < x < 2} and T = {(x, y) : x – y is an
integer} Then which of the following is true?

(a) T is an equivalence relation but S is not an equivalence relation.

(b) Neither S nor T is an equivalence relation
(c) Both S and T are equivalence relations
(d) S is an equivalence relation but T is not an equivalence relation.

Solution:

(a) T is an equivalence relation but S is not an equivalence relation.

Hint.

Given R is the set of all real numbers

S = { (x, y): y = x + 1 and 0 < x < 2}
T = { (x, y): x – y is an integer} are subsets of R × R
s = { (x, y): y = x + 1 and 0 < x < 2} for x ∈ R,
x = x + 1 is not possible. ∴ (x , x) ∉ S

Hence S does not satisfy the reflexive property

∴ S is not an equivalence relation
T = {(x, y): x – y is an integer}

Reflexive:
For x ∈ R, we have x – x = 0 is an integer.
∴ (x,x)∈T forall X∈ R
Hence T satisfies reflexive property

Symmetric:
Let (x, y) ∈ T, then x – y
⇒ – (x – y) is an integer
⇒ y – x is an integer
⇒ (y, x) ∈ T
∴ T satisfies the symmetric property

Transitive:
Let (x, y), (y, z) ∈ T then x – y and y – z are integers.
⇒ x – y + y – z is an integer
⇒ x – z is an integer
⇒ (x, z) ∈ T

∴ T satisfies the transitive property

we have proved T is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
Thus T is an equivalence relation.

14% of the enrollment in Chemistry. How many students take at least one of
these two subjects?
(a) 1120
(b) 1130
(c) 1100
(d) insufficient data

Solution:

(b) 1130
Hint.
Let M denotes Mathematics students
C denotes Chemistry students
Given n(M ∩ C) = 70

10 % of the enrolement in Mathematics

Out of 100 enrolement 10 students take mathematics
∴ Number of Mathematics students n (M) = 100/10 × 70
n (M ) = 700

Number of Chemistry students n(C) = 100/14 × 70

n (C) = 500
∴ n(M ∪ C) = n(M) + n(C) – n(M ∩ C)
= 700 + 500 – 70
= 1200 – 70
= 1130

The number of students take atleast one of the subject mathematics or

Chemistry = 1130

(d) 5

Solution:
(c) 6
Hint.
Given n (A) = 2 and n(B ∪ C) = 3
n[(A × B) ∪ (A × C)] = n[A × ( B ∪ C ) ]
A × (B ∪ C) = (A × B) ∪ (A × C)
= n(A) . n(B ∪ C)
=2×3=6

(b) 172
(c) 34
(d) insufficient data

Solution:
(b) 172

n (A ∩ B) = 17
So n [(A × B) ∩ (B × A)]
= n(A ∩ B) × n(B ∩ A) = 17 × 17 = 172

(2, 1),
(2, 2), (3, 1), (3, 2)}
(A × B) ∩ (B × A) = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 1), (2, 2)}
A × A = {1, 2} × {1, 2}
A × A = { (1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 1), (2, 2) }
(A × B) × (B × A) = A × A
