Avantika Dasgupta answered |
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.

Pallavi Ahuja answered |
Symmetric
The relation R is said to be symmetric if for every element (a, b) in R, the element (b, a) is also in R. In other words, if (a, b) ∈ R, then (b, a) ∈ R.
In this case, the relation R = {(2, 3)} has only one element. To check if it is symmetric, we need to check if (3, 2) is also in R. Since (3, 2) is not in R, the relation R is not symmetric.
Transitive
The relation R is said to be transitive if for every elements (a, b) and (b, c) in R, the element (a, c) is also in R. In other words, if (a, b) ∈ R and (b, c) ∈ R, then (a, c) ∈ R.
In this case, we need to check if (2, 3) ∈ R and (3, 2) ∈ R imply that (2, 2) ∈ R. Since (2, 3) ∈ R and (3, 2) is not in R, we cannot determine if (2, 2) ∈ R or not. Therefore, the relation R is not transitive.
Summary
- The relation R = {(2, 3)} is not symmetric because it does not contain the element (3, 2).
- The relation R is not transitive because we cannot determine if (2, 2) ∈ R or not based on the given relation R.
Therefore, the relation R = {(2, 3)} is neither symmetric nor transitive.

(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.
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.

Mohit Rajpoot answered |
We are given that functions f : A→B and g : B→C are both one-to-one functions.
Suppose a1, a2 ∈ A such that (gof)(a1) = (gof)(a2)
⇒ g(f(a1)) = g(f(a2)) (definition of composition) Since g is one-to-one, therefore,
f(a1) = f(a2)
And since f is one-to-one, therefore, a1 = a2
Thus, we have shown that if (gof)(a1) = (gof)(a2) then a1 = a2
Hence, gof is one-to-one function.

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 )

Nikita Singh answered |
let y = (4x + 3)/(6x - 4)
⇒ y * (6x - 4) = 4x + 3
⇒ 6xy - 4y = 4x + 3
⇒ 6xy - 4y - 4x = 3
⇒ 6xy - 4x = 3 + 4y
⇒ x(6y - 4) = 4y + 3
⇒ x = (4y + 3)/(6y - 4)
So, f-1 (x) = (4x + 3)/(6x - 4)
⇒ y * (6x - 4) = 4x + 3
⇒ 6xy - 4y = 4x + 3
⇒ 6xy - 4y - 4x = 3
⇒ 6xy - 4x = 3 + 4y
⇒ x(6y - 4) = 4y + 3
⇒ x = (4y + 3)/(6y - 4)
So, f-1 (x) = (4x + 3)/(6x - 4)

Sharmila Choudhury answered |
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.

Shiksha Academy 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)
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)

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.

A = {1, 2, 3, 4}
B = {1, 3, 5}
(a, b) ∈ element of R ⇔ a < b for all a ∈ A, b ∈ B
(a, b) pairs satisfying the condition of R are:
(1, 3), (1, 5), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 5), (4, 5)
So,
R = {(1, 3), (1, 5), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 5), (4, 5)}
B = {1, 3, 5}
(a, b) ∈ element of R ⇔ a < b for all a ∈ A, b ∈ B
(a, b) pairs satisfying the condition of R are:
(1, 3), (1, 5), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 5), (4, 5)
So,
R = {(1, 3), (1, 5), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 5), (4, 5)}

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.

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).

We have ∗ is defined on the set {1,2,3,4,5} by a∗b = LCM of a and b
Now, 3∗4 = LCM of 3 and 4=12
But, 12 does not belong to {1,2,3,4,5}.
Hence, ′∗′ is not a binary operation.
Now, 3∗4 = LCM of 3 and 4=12

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.

It is equivalence relation...
as a triangle is congruent to itself that means (T1 , T1) exist in relation...which implies it is reflexive.
And also if T1 is congruent to T2 then T2 is also congruent to T1 as simple...that means (T1,T2) and (T2,T1) both belongs to relation ...which implies it is symmetric.
And is T1 is congruent to T2 and T2 is congruent to T3...then T1 is also congruent to T3.... congruency rule...that means (T1,T2),(T2,T3)and(T1,T3) belongs to relation...which implies it transitive....
this relation is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive...hence it is equivalence relation..

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.

- 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.

Devika Choudhury answered |
To find the value of x for which f(g(x)) = 25, we need to substitute g(x) into the function f(x) and solve for x.
Given:
f(x) = 2x - 3
g(x) = x^2 - 7
Substituting g(x) into f(x), we have:
f(g(x)) = 2(g(x)) - 3
= 2(x^2 - 7) - 3
= 2x^2 - 14 - 3
= 2x^2 - 17
Now we can set this expression equal to 25 and solve for x:
2x^2 - 17 = 25
Adding 17 to both sides:
2x^2 = 42
Dividing both sides by 2:
x^2 = 21
Taking the square root of both sides:
x = ±√21
Since we are looking for a real value of x, we can discard the negative square root.
Therefore, the value of x for which f(g(x)) = 25 is x = √21, which is approximately 4.58.
So, the correct answer is option D) 2.
