- A function is a relation where each input (x) is associated with exactly one output (y).
- The set {(x, y) | x < y} represents all pairs where x is less than y.
- For a given x, there can be many possible values of y (e.g., x = 1 could pair with y = 2, 3, 4, etc.).
- Therefore, this set does not satisfy the definition of a function.
- The correct answer is Option A: not a function.

Given set {(x, y)|xy}, we need to determine whether it represents a function or not.
Explanation:
A function is a relation between two sets in which each element of the first set (called the domain) is paired with exactly one element of the second set (called the range). In other words, if (x, y) is a part of a function, then there cannot be another element (x, z) in the same function where z is not equal to y.
Let's consider the given set {(x, y)|xy}. Here, the element (x, y) is included in the set if and only if xy is true (i.e., not equal to zero).
However, this set does not satisfy the definition of a function because for some values of x, there can be multiple values of y that satisfy the condition xy ≠ 0. For example, if x = 2, then both (2, 1) and (2, -1) are included in the set, since 2*1 ≠ 0 and 2*(-1) ≠ 0. Therefore, there is no unique value of y corresponding to each value of x, which violates the definition of a function.
Hence, the correct answer is option 'A': not a function.

Some relations are not functions
ex : x=y^2 here is function of y
but y is not function of x
