 ‘ * ’ is commutative.
17. Answer (3)
Here, O(A) = 2. Hence, O ( A × A ) = 2 × 2 = 4. Number of binary operations on A is same as the number
of relations that can be defined from A × A to A.
Hence, number of binary operations on A = 24 = 16.
( Any ordered pair of A × A can be associated to any one of the two elements of A)
18. Answer (2)
Statement 1 : Range of f(x) is R.
Statement 2 : f(x) is polynomial function of degree 7 hence it is continuous, but it is not necessary that
continuous function is onto hence
Statement 1 is true statement 2 is true but statement 2 is not correct explanation.
19. Answer (3)
f(x) and g(x) are one-one functions
Thus f[g(x1)] = f[g(x2)]
 g(x1) = g(x2) as f is one-one
 x1 = x2 i.e, g is one-one
 f(g(x) is also one-one
Now g[f(x1)] = g[f(x2)]
 f(x1) = f(x2)
 x1 = x2,  x1, x2,
Hence fog and gof are one-one functions
 Statement 1 is true.
Statement 2 is false as composite function of two one-one function is one-one.

20. Answer (1)


Statement 1 : f(x) = xx
f (x) = xx [1 + n x]
f(x) > 0 hence f(x) is one-one.
Range of f(x) = [1, )
Hence f(x) is onto.
i.e., f(x) is invertible.
Statement 2 is true and statement 2 is a correct explanation of statement 1.

32. As, solution of the equation f(x) = f–1(x) is equivalent to the solution of f[f(x)] = x
 [(x + 1)2 – 1 + 1]2 –1 = x
(x + 1)4 = 1 + x
 (x + 1) [(x + 1)3 – 1] = 0
x = –1 or x = 0
So, set of values of x is {0, –1}.
33. fog = f(g(x)) = f(1 + x2) = 1 – (1 + x2) = –x2
Also, gof = g(f(x)) = g(1 – x) = 1 + (1 – x)2 = x2 – 2x + 2

As, in given domain and co-domain, the given function is bijective so, we need not to check it.
35. Given, f(m) = m2 + m + 1 for all mN
Let f(m) = f(n); m, n  N
 m2 + m + 1 = n2 + n + 1
 m2 – n2 = n – m
 (m + n) (m – n) – (m – n) = 0
 (m – n) (m + n – 1) = 0
 m = n {as, m + n  1}
 f is one-one.
Also, f(m) = m2 + m + 1  3 for all mN.
So, f is not onto.
In fact, Rf = {3, 7, 13, 21, 31, ......}
as f(m) = m(m + 1) + 1
36. (i) For all a, b  Q
 a + 2b  Q
 Q is closed under the given operation.
(ii) 1 * 2 = 1 + 2.2 = 5
and 2 * 1 = 2 + 2.1 = 4
 1*22*1
 The given operation is not commutative.
(iii) (1 * 2) * 3 = (1 + 2.2) * 3 = 5 * 3 = 5 + 2.3 = 11 and
1 * (2 * 3) = 1 * (2 + 2.3) = 1 * 8 = 1 + 2.8 = 17
 The given operation is not associative.

Solutions (Step-2)

Relations
1. Answer (2)
Reflexivity : R is not reflexive because for x  A, (x, x)  R ( each element of A is not related)
Symmetric : For (x, y)  R
 (y, x) also  R
Hence, R is symmetric.
Transitive : We observe that (c, a)  R and (a, c)  R, but (c, c)  R.
Hence, R is not transitive.

8. Answer (2)
S1 : R is not reflexive due to the absence of (3, 3).
S2 : R is symmetric and transitive.
9. Answer (3)
R = {(1, 2), (2, 3)}
If R is equivalence then R will as
R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1, 2), (2, 1), (2, 3), (3, 2), (1, 3), (3, 1)}
Added order pairs = 7
10. Answer (1)
R is reflexive as 1 + a × a = 1 + a2 > 0
R is symmetric because, if 1 + ab > 0  1 + ba > 0
But R is not transitive in all case
For example

3 3

 1 1
But   R (–4) is not possible as 1 + (–4) = –1 < 0
2 2
Hence, R is not transitive.
11. Answer (4)

d f

a e
By (i), (ii)  
b f
 (a, b) R (e, f), hence R is transitive.
Hence R is equivalence.
12. Answer (4)
Reflexivity : Let x be an arbitrary element of R and x  R.
 |x| = |x|

Solutions of Assignment (Step-2) Relations and Functions 9
 xR1x
Hence, R1 is reflexive.
Symmetric : Let (x, y)  R1.
If |x| = |y|
 |y| = |x|
 (y, x)  R1
Hence, R1 is symmetric.
Transitive : Let (x, y) and (y, z)  R.
 |x| = |y| and |y| = |z|
 |x| = |z|
 (x, z)  R1
Hence, R1 is transitive.
Thus, R is an equivalence relation.
13. Answer (4)
Clearly, T is an equivalence relation i.e., reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
But for S = {(x, y) : y = x + 1}
 x  x + 1  (x, x)  S  S is not reflexive.
 S is not equivalence relation.

Linear Functional Equations


31. Answer (3)
f(x + y) + f(x – y) = 2f(x) f(y)
x = 0, y= 0
f(0) + f(0) = 2f(0)2
 f(0) = 1 as f(0)  0
Put y = x and x = 0
f(x) + f(–x) = 2f(0) f(x)
 f(x) + f(–x) = 2 f(x)
 f(x) = f(–x)
Hence the given function f is even.
32. Answer (3)
f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y)
Putting x = y = 1, f(2) = 2f(1)

Given R = {(x, y) : x, yZ, x2 + 3y2  8}
So R = {(1, 1), (2, 1), (1, –1), (0, 1), (1, 0)}

So DR 1  1, 0, 1

40. Answer (1)


(I) If (a, b) R1 and (b, c) R1
 a2 + b2 Q and b2 + c2 Q
then a2 + 2b2 + c2 Q but we cannot say anything about a2 + c2, that it is rational or not.
So R1 is not transitive
(II) If (a, b) R2 and (b, c) R2
 a2 + b2 Q and b2 + c2 Q
but we can’t say anything about a2 + c2, that it is rational or irrational.
So R2 is not transitive
41. Answer (1)
 R = {(P, Q) | P and Q are at the same distance from the origin}.
Then equivalence class of (1, –1) will contain all such points which lies on circumference of the circle of
centre at origin and passing through point (1, –1).

i.e., radius of circle  12  12  2


 Required equivalence class of (S) = {(x, y) | x2 + y2 = 2}.

x2(x – 3y) – y2(x – 3y) = 0
(x – y) (x + y) (x – 3y) = 0 ...(i)
 (i) holds for all (x, x)  R is reflexive
if (x, y) holds then (y, x) may or may not holds for factors (x + y), (x – 3y)  R is NOT symmetric
Similarly (x – 3y) factor doesn’t hold for transitive
44. Answer (3)

 Total number relations from A  B to A  C = 25 × 5
 p = 25
45. Answer (3)
(x, y) R  0 < |x – y|  1.
R is symmetric because |x – y| = |y – x|
But R is not transitive
For example
x = 0.2, y = 0.9, z = 1.5
0  |x – y| = 0.7  1
0  |y – z| = 0.6  1
But |x – z| = 1.3 > 1

46. Answer (4)

R = {(x, y) : yAi, iff xAi, 1  i  k}

(1) Reflexive

(a, a)  aAi iff aAi

(2) Symmetric

(a, b)  aAi iff bAi

(b, a) R as bAi iff aAi

(3) Transitive

(a, b)R & (b, c) R.

 a Ai iff b Ai & b Ai iff c Ai

 a Ai iff c Ai

 (a, c)R.
 Relation is equivalence
47. Answer (4)
a R1 b  ab  0
So, definitely (a, a)  R1 as a2  0
If (a, b)  R1  (b, a)  R1
But if (a, b) R1, (b, c)  R1
 Then (a, c) may or may not belong to R1
{Consider a = –5, b = 0, c = 5 so (a, b) and (b, c) R1 but ac < 0}
So, R1 is not equivalence relation
a R2 b  a  b
(a, a)  R2  so reflexive relation
If (a, b) R2 then (b, a) may or may not belong to R2
 So not symmetric
Hence it is not equivalence relation
48. Answer (4)
R = {(x, y) : 3x + y is multiple of 7}, Now R to be an equivalence relation
(1) R should be reflexive : (a, a)R  a N
 3a + a = 7k
 (3 + ) a = 7k
 3 +  = 7k1   = 7k1 –3
= 7k1 + 4
(2) R should be symmetric : aRb  bRa
aRb : 3a + (7k –3) b = 7 m
 3(a – b) + 7kb = 7 m
 3(b – a) + 7 ka = 7 m
So, aRb  bRa
 R will be symmetric for a = 7k1 –3

(3) Transitive : Let (a, b)R, (b, c)R


 3a + (7k – 3)b = 7k1 and
3b + (7k2 – 3) c = 7k3
Adding 3a + 7kb + (7k2 – 3) c = 7 (k1 + k3)
3a + (7k2 – 3) c = 7 m
 (a, c)R
 R is transitive

D = {(1, 2), (2, 2), (2, 1)}
All elements of set B have image 4 and only element of A has image 1.
All elements of set C have image 3 or 4 and all elements of set D have image 2 or 3 or 4.
We will solve this question in two cases.
Case I : When no element of set C has image 3.

f ( x )  2 x 3  15 x 2  36 x  1
f(x) = 6x2 – 30x + 36

= 6(x – 2) (x – 3)
Clearly the derivative changes sign in [0, 3] so, f is NOT one-one.
Now, the function is increasing in [0, 2] and decreasing in [2, 3].
Also, f(0) = 1
f(2) = 29
f(3) = 8
Hence the range is [1, 29] and so, the function is onto.

We have
f(x + 1) + f(x – 1) = 3 f(x),  x  R.
f(x + 1) = 3 f(x) – f (x – 1)
Let x + 1 = r
f(r) = 3 f(r – 1) – f(r– 2)

 f(r) = 3 [ 3 f (r – 2) – f(r – 3)] – f(r – 2)  f(r) = 3f (r – 2) – 3 f(r – 3) – f(r – 2)

 f(r) = 2f (r – 2) – 3 f(r – 3)

 f(r) = 2[ 3 f (r – 3) –f(r – 4)] – 3 f(r – 3)

 f(r) = 3 f (r – 3) –2f(r – 4)]

 f(r) = 3 [ 3 f (r – 4) –f(r – 5)] – 2f(r – 4)

 f(r) = f (r – 4) – 3 f(r – 5)

 f(r) = 3 [ 3 f (r – 5) –f(r – 6)] – 3 f(r – 5)

Assertion-Reason Type Questions
1. Answer (2)
If g(x) is periodic then g(x + T) = g(x)

Also f [g ( x  T )]  f (g ( x )] hence f (g ( x )) is periodic.

f ( x )  [{ x }]  0 is a constant function, hence periodic but its fundamental period cannot be defined.
2. Answer (1)

f ( x )  x 2 log(| x |  1)

f (  x )  (  x )2 log(|  x | 1)  f ( x ) hence even domain of f(x) is ‘R’ and it is continuous function.
Hence statement-2 is true.
 Range of any even continuous function cannot be ‘R’ hence any even continuous function cannot be onto
in co-domain R.
3. Answer (1)
Statement-1: f(x) = 4x3 – 6x + 1, may be positive as well as negative, hence f(x) is many one
Statement-2 is clearly true

3. Answer (B)

f ( x )  2 x 3  15 x 2  36 x  1
f(x) = 6x2 – 30x + 36
= 6(x2 – 5x + 6)
= 6(x – 2) (x – 3)
Clearly the derivative changes sign in [0, 3] so, f is NOT one-one.
Now the function is increasing in [0, 2] and decreasing in [2, 3]
Also, f(0) = 1
f(2) = 29
f(3) = 8
Hence, the range is [1, 29] and so, the function is onto.
