TYPES OF RELATIONS

3
Show that the relation 𝑅 in the set 𝐑 of real numbers, defined as
R = (𝑎, 𝑏): 𝑎 ≤ 𝑏 2 is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor
transitive.

4
Relation R in the set A of human beings in a town at a particular
time given by
R = {(𝑥, 𝑦): 𝑥 is exactly 7 cm taller than 𝑦}

5
TYPES OF FUNCTIONS

6
Show that the Signum Function 𝑓: 𝐑 → 𝐑, given by
1, if 𝑥 > 0
𝑓(𝑥) = ቐ0, if 𝑥 = 0
1, if 𝑥 < 0
is neither one-one nor onto.

7
Let A = 𝐑 − {3} and B = 𝐑 − {1}. Consider the function 𝑓: A →
𝑥−2
B defined by 𝑓(𝑥) = . Is 𝑓 one-one and onto?
𝑥−3

18
Show that ∗ : R × R → R given by a ∗ b → a + 2b is not associative

19
determine whether ∗ is binary, commutative or associative. Where
On 𝐙 + , define 𝑎 ∗ 𝑏 = 𝑎𝑏

20
Consider the binary operation ∧ on the set {1,2,3,4,5} defined by
𝑎 ∧ 𝑏 = HCF {𝑎, 𝑏}. Write the operation table of the operation ∧.
