For real number x and y, we writeis an irrational
number. Then the relation R is:​
a)Reflexive
b)Symmetric
c)Transitive
d)Equivalence
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

xRy => x - y + √2 is an irrational number.
Let R is a binary relation on real numbers x and y.
Now, R is transitive iff for all (x, y) ∈ R and (y, z) ∈ R implies (x, z) ∈ R
Given, xRy => x - y + √2 is irrational    ............1
and yRz => y - z + √2 is irrational       ............2
Add equation 1 and 2, we get
   (x - y + √2) + (y - z + √2) is irrational
= x - z + √2 is irrational
= xRz is irrational
So, the relation R is transitive.

If A = { (1, 2, 3}, then the relation R = {(2, 3)} in A isa)symmetric and transitive 

Avneesh Shukla answered
It may transitive , because 2 is related to 3 but 3 is not related to any other element so this is a special case of modern algebra

Let R be a relation on N (set of natural numbers) such that (m, n) R (p, q)mq(n + p) = np(m + q). Then, R is​
  • a)
    An Equivalence Relation
  • b)
    Only Reflexive
  • c)
    Symmetric and reflexive.
  • d)
    Only Transitive
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Anaya Patel answered
(m, n) R (p, q) <=> mq(n + p) = np(m + q)
For all m,n,p,q € N
Reflexive:
(m, n) R (m, n) <=> mn(n + m) = nm(m + n)
⇒ mn2 + m2n = nm2 + n2m
⇒ mn2 + m2n = mn2 + m2n
⇒ LHS = RHS
So, (m, n) R (m, n) exists.
Hence, it is Reflexive
Symmetric:
Let (m, n) R (p, q) exists
mq(n + p) = np(m + q) --- (eqn1)
(p, q) R (m, n) <=> pn(q + m) = qm (p + n)
⇒ np(m + q) = mq(n + p)
⇒ mq(n + p) = np(m + q)
This equation is true by (eqn1).
So, (p, q) R (m, n) exists
Hence, it is  not symmetric.
Transitive:
Let (m, n) R (p, q) and (p, q) R (r, s) exists.
Therefore,
mq(n + p) = np(m + q) --- (eqn1)
ps(q + r) = qr (p + s) --- (eqn2)
We cannot obtain ms(n+r) = nr(m+s) using eqn1 and eqn2.
So, ms(n + r) ≠ nr(m + s)
Therefore, (m, n) R (r, s) doesn’t exist.
Hence, it is transitive.

  • a)
    39

a)Equivalence relation
b)Reflexive
c)Transitive
d)Symmetric
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
Correct Answer :- D
Explanation:- Check for reflexive 
Consider (a,a)
∴  a2+a2
 =1 which is not always true.
If a=2
∴  22+22
 =1⇒4+4=1 which is false.
∴  R is not reflexive             ---- ( 1 )
Check for symmetric
aRb⇒a2+b2=1
bRa⇒b2+a2 =1
Both the equation are the same and therefore will always be true.
∴  R is symmetric                 ---- ( 2 )
Check for transitive
aRb⇒a2+b2=1
bRc⇒b2+c2=1
∴  a2+c2=1 will not always be true.
Let a=−1,b=0 and c=1
∴  (−1)2+02=1,  
= 02+12
 =1 are true.
But (−1)2+12
 =1 is false.
∴  R is not transitive         ---- ( 3 )

In the set N x N, the relation R is defined by (a, b) R (c, d) ⇔  a+d = b+c. Then R is

Naina Bansal answered
Commutative law is the Law that says you can swap numbers around and still get the same answer when you add or when you multiply i.e a + b = b + a


Example: 
You can swap when you add: 6 + 3 = 3 + 6 (= 9)

Let A and B be two sets. Then a relation R from set A to set B is a subset of A × B. Thus, R is a relation from A to B ⇔ R ⊆ A × B.

A relation R from C to R is defined by x Ry if f |x| = y. Which of the following is correct?
  • a)
    iR1
  • b)
    3R(–3)
  • c)
    (2 + 3 i)R13
  • d)
    (1 + i)R2
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Iyer answered
|2+3i| = sqroot( square(2) + square(3) ) = sqroot(13) which is not equal to 13
so, (2+3i)R 13 is wrong.
|3| = sqroot( square(3) + square(0) ) = sqroot(9) = 3 which is not equal to -3
so, 3R (-3) is wrong.
|1+i| = sqroot( square(1) + square(1) ) = sqroot(2) which is not equal to 2
so, (1+i)R 2 is wrong.
|i| =sqroot( square(0) + square(1) ) = sqroot(1) which is equal to 1
so, iR1 is correct.

Let A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9} and let f(x) = {(1, 8), (2, 7), (3, 6)} then f is
  • a)
    Surjective
  • b)
    Not a function
  • c)
    Injective
  • d)
    Bijective
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Solution:

To determine whether f is surjective, injective, or bijective, we need to understand what these terms mean.

- Surjective: A function f from set A to set B is surjective (onto) if for every element y in set B, there is an element x in set A such that f(x) = y. In other words, every element in set B has at least one preimage in set A.
- Injective: A function f from set A to set B is injective (one-to-one) if for every pair of distinct elements x₁ and x₂ in set A, f(x₁) and f(x₂) are distinct in set B. In other words, no two distinct elements in set A have the same image in set B.
- Bijective: A function f from set A to set B is bijective if it is both surjective and injective. In other words, every element in set B has exactly one preimage in set A, and no two distinct elements in set A have the same image in set B.

Now, let's look at the given function f(x) = {(1, 8), (2, 7), (3, 6)}.

- f is not surjective because set B has elements 5 and 9 that do not have any preimages in set A.
- f is not a function if there is an element in set A that has more than one image in set B. However, this is not the case for f, so it is a function.
- f is injective because no two distinct elements in set A have the same image in set B. For example, f(1) = 8, f(2) = 7, and f(3) = 6, so no two distinct elements in set A have the same image in set B.
- Since f is injective but not surjective, it is not bijective.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' - f is injective.

Let  g(x) = 1 + x – [x] and 
Then f{g(x)} for all x, is equal to:
  • a)
    g(x)
  • b)
    x
  • c)
    1
  • d)
    f(x)
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Om Desai answered
g(x) = 1 + x - [x]
f(x) = {-1, x<0   0, x=0    1, x>0}
f(g(x)) = f[1 + x - [x]]
= f[1 + x - 1]
= f(x)
f(g(x)) is equal to f(x) 

Which one of the following relations on set of real numbers is an equivalence relation?
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Kumari Sakshi answered
Equivalence relation is symmetric reflexive and transitive now see option A a>=b but in this case relation will not be symmetric now see option B if |a|=|b | then |b|=|a| so this is symmetric as well as reflexive and if |a|=|b| and |b|=|c| then|c|=|a | then it is transitive as well so it is an equivalence relation you can check yourself for the rest two

The function, f(x) = 2x - 1 is
  • a)
    It is not surjective
  • b)
    It is surjective
  • c)
    It is surjective in some intervals of the domain
  • d)
    Insufficient information
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Vivek Patel answered
The function f(x) = 2x - 1 is surjective.

Explanation:

A function is surjective (also called onto) if for every element y in the codomain, there exists an element x in the domain such that f(x) = y.

In this case, the function f(x) = 2x - 1 is a linear function. For any given y value, we can find an x value such that f(x) = y:

y = 2x - 1
x = (y + 1) / 2

So, for any y value, there exists an x value that satisfies the equation. Therefore, the function is surjective.

The binary relation S = Φ (empty set) on set A = {1, 2,3} is
  • a)
    transitive and relexive
  • b)
    symmetric and relexive
  • c)
    transitive and symmetric
  • d)
    neither reflexive nor symmetric
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Rohit Jain answered
Reflexive : A relation is reflexive if every element of set is paired with itself. Here none of the element of A is paired with themselves, so S is not reflexive.
Symmetric : This property says that if there is a pair (a, b) in S, then there must be a pair (b, a) in S. Since there is no pair here in S, this is trivially true, so S is symmetric.
Transitive : This says that if there are pairs (a, b) and (b, c) in S, then there must be pair (a,c) in S. Again, this condition is trivially true, so S is transitive.

Let R be the relation on the set {1, 2, 3, 4} given by R = {(1, 2), (2, 2), (1, 1), (4, 4), (1, 3), (3,3), (3,2)}. then R is​
  • a)
    R is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive.
  • b)
    R is symmetric and transitive but not reflexive.
  • c)
    R is an equivalence relation.
  • d)
    R is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Pragati Dey answered
 R be the relation in the set {1,2,3,4] given by 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}
so,R is feflexive.

it is seen that (a,b) = (b,a) ∈ R 
because, (1,2)∈ R but (2,1) ∉R
so, R is not symmetric.

it is seen that (a, b), (b, c) ∈ R ⇒ (a, c) ∈ R for all a, b, c ∈ {1, 2, 3, 4}.
so, R is transitive.
Hence, R is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.

Rajdeep Singh answered
Solution:

Equivalence relation is a relation that is reflexive, symmetric and transitive. A partition of a set is a collection of non-empty subsets whose union is the original set and whose members are pairwise disjoint. Let's find the set R so that P, Q and R form a partition that results in equivalence relation.

Reflexive property: Every element is related to itself.

Symmetric property: If a is related to b, then b is related to a.

Transitive property: If a is related to b and b is related to c, then a is related to c.

Partition: P, Q and R are pairwise disjoint. Their union is A.

Elements of the set R: {4, 5, 6}

Explanation:

We can choose the set R as {4, 5, 6} because it is disjoint from both P and Q. This means that the sets P, Q and R are pairwise disjoint. Also, their union is A, which means that every element of A belongs to exactly one of the sets P, Q and R.

Now, let's check whether the partition formed by P, Q and R results in an equivalence relation.

Reflexive property: Every element is related to itself.
- For any element x in A, x belongs to exactly one of the sets P, Q and R.
- If x belongs to P or Q, then x is related to itself because P and Q are both reflexive.
- If x belongs to R, then x is related to itself because R is a set of elements.

Symmetric property: If a is related to b, then b is related to a.
- For any elements a and b in A, a belongs to exactly one of the sets P, Q and R, and b belongs to exactly one of the sets P, Q and R.
- If a and b belong to the same set (P, Q or R), then the relation between them is symmetric because P, Q and R are all symmetric.
- If a and b belong to different sets, then they are not related. Therefore, the relation between them is trivially symmetric.

Transitive property: If a is related to b and b is related to c, then a is related to c.
- For any elements a, b and c in A, a belongs to exactly one of the sets P, Q and R, b belongs to exactly one of the sets P, Q and R, and c belongs to exactly one of the sets P, Q and R.
- If a and b belong to the same set and b and c belong to the same set, then a and c belong to the same set by the transitive property of P, Q and R.
- If a and b belong to different sets or b and c belong to different sets, then a and c are not related. Therefore, the relation between them is trivially transitive.

Therefore, the partition formed by P, Q and R results in an equivalence relation.

A function f: X → Y is injective if and only if
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
    f(X) = Y
  • d)
    X = Y
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Gunjan Lakhani answered
Let X, Y be sets, and let f : X → Y be a function. We say that f is injective (sometimes called one-to-one) if ∀x1, x2 ∈ X, f(x1) = f(x2
⇒ x1 = x2.

Let R be an equivalence relation on Z, the set of integers.
R = {(a,b): a,b∈Z and a – b is a multiple of 3} The Equivalence class of [1] is​
  • a)
    {..-7,-4,2,5,8,.}
  • b)
    {.-4,-1,2,5,8,.}
  • c)
    {.-6,-1,3,5,9,.}
  • d)
    {…..-5,-2,1,4,7,.}
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Gaurav Kumar answered
Correct Answer :- d
Explanation : R = (a,b) : 3 divides (a-b)
⇒(a−b) is a multiple of 3.
To find equivalence class 1, put b=1
So, (a−0) is a multiple of 3
⇒ a is a multiple of 3
So, In set z of integers, all the multiple
of 3 will come in equivalence
class {1}
Hence, equivalence class {1} = {3x+1}
{-5,-2,1,4,7}

Let a relation T on the set R of real numbers be T = {(a,b) : 1 + ab < 0, a,∈ R}. Then from among the ordered pairs (1,1) (1,2)(1,-2)(2,2), the only pair that belongs to T is________.​
  • a)
    (2,2),
  • b)
    (1,1),
  • c)
    (1,-2)
  • d)
    (1,2)
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Relation T on R of real numbers

Definition of Relation T: T is a relation on the set R of real numbers and it is defined as T = {(a,b) : 1 ≤ ab ≤ 0, a ε R}

Explanation: This means that T is a set of ordered pairs (a,b) such that a is a real number and b is a real number, and the product of a and b is between 1 and 0, inclusive. In other words, either a and b are both negative or one of them is negative and the other is between 0 and 1.

Given ordered pairs: (1,1), (1,2), (1,-2), (2,2)

Checking which pairs belong to T:

- (1,1): 1 ≤ 1*1 ≤ 0 is false, so (1,1) does not belong to T
- (1,2): 1 ≤ 1*2 ≤ 0 is false, so (1,2) does not belong to T
- (1,-2): 1 ≤ 1*(-2) ≤ 0 is true, so (1,-2) belongs to T
- (2,2): 1 ≤ 2*2 ≤ 0 is false, so (2,2) does not belong to T

Conclusion: The only ordered pair that belongs to T is (1,-2). Therefore, the correct answer is option C, (1,-2).
