Relations
Objective Problem:-

1. Let A and B be two sets having 3 elements in common. If n(A) = 5 and n(B) = 4, then
n(A  B  B  A) =
(A) 20 (B) 16 (C) 9 (D) 3

2. If R is a relation from finite set A to finite set B having m, n elements respectively,

then number of relations from A to B is
(A) 2mn (B) 2mn – 1 (C) 2mn (D) mn

3. Let A be nonempty set of the male children in a family. The relation “x is brother of y”
on A is
(A) reflexive (B) symmetric (C) transitive (D) none of these

4. Let R1 be a relation defined by R1 = {(a, b) : a  b, a, b  R}, on the set of real numbers,

then R1 is
(A) reflexive (B) transitive (C) symmetric (D) equivalence

5. Let R be a relation on the set N be defined by, R = {(a, b) : a, b  N, 2a + b = 11}, then

R is
(A) reflexive (B) symmetric (C) transitive (D) none of these

Subjective:
6. Let R be a relation defined on the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} by R = {(a, b) : |a 2 – b2| < 10},
then find (i) domain of R (ii) range of R (iii) number of elements in R

7. Find the number of equivalence relations that can be defined on set {a, b, c}.

8. Let W denote the words in English dictionary. Define the relation R = {(x, y)  W  W :
the words x and y have atleast one letter is common}. Then find relation R is reflexive,
symmetric or transitive.

9. Let R be a relation on the set of integers given by R = {(a, b) : a = 2 kb, for some k  I}.
then prove that R is an equivalence relation.
10. Let a relation R is given by, R = {(1, 2), (2, 3)}. How many minimum number of elements
must be added to R so that R becomes on equivalence relation.
