1. RELATIONS AND ITS TYPES
1. (c) (6,8) ∈ 𝑅
Explanation: Given,
𝑎 = 𝑏 − 2 and 𝑏 > 6
⇒ (6,8) ∈ R
2. (b) symmetric
Explanation: We have,
𝑅 = {(1,1), (2,3), (3,2), (4,3), (3,4)}
∵ (2,2), (3,3), (4,4) ∉ 𝑅
∴ 𝑅 is not reflexive.
For (2,3) ∈ 𝑅, we have (3,2) ∈ 𝑅
Similarly for (4,3) ∈ 𝑅, we have (3,4) ∈ 𝑅.
∴ 𝑅 is symmetric.
For (2,3) ∈ 𝑅 and (3,2) ∈ 𝑅, we have (2,2) ∉ 𝑅
∴ 𝑅 is not transitive
∵ 𝑅 is not reflexive and transitive so it is not an
equivalence relation.
NOTE:
A relation 𝑅 in a set 𝐴 is called
(i) reflexive, if (𝑎, 𝑎) ∈ 𝑅, for every 𝑎 ∈ 𝐴,
(ii) symmetric, if (𝑎1, 𝑎2) ∈ 𝑅 implies that (𝑎2, 𝑎1) ∈ 𝑅, For all 𝑎1, 𝑎2 ∈ 𝐴.
(iii) transitive, if (𝑎1, 𝑎2) ∈ 𝑅 and (𝑎2, 𝑎3) ∈ 𝑅 implies that (𝑎1, 𝑎3) ∈ 𝑅 for all 𝑎1, 𝑎2, 𝑎3 ∈ 𝑅.
3. (c) {(1,1), (3,3), (3,1), (2,3)}
Explanation: The ordered pairs to be added in R are:
(1,1), (3,3) {needed to make R reflexive}
CH-1
(3,1), (2,3) {needed to make 𝑅 symmetric}
So, {(1,1)(3,3), (3,1), (2,3)} are required.
4. (b) {−2, −1,0,1,2}
Explanation: Given,
𝑥2
+ 𝑦2
≤ 4
⇒ 𝑦2
≤ 4 − 𝑥2
⇒ 𝑦 ≤ �4 − 𝑥2
For domain: 4 − 𝑥2
≥ 0
⇒ 𝑥2
≤ 4
∴ −2 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 2
So, Domain = {−2, −1,0,1,2}
5. (c) 𝑅 = {(𝑥, 𝑦) : 𝑥𝑦 is the square number; 𝑥, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑁} Explanation: When 𝑥 ∈ 𝑁, 𝑥2
is a square number
So, (𝑥, 𝑥) ∈ R for all 𝑥 ∈ N.
Therefore, R is reflexive.
6. (c) 2
Explanation: Total possible pairs = (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3)
Reflexive means (𝑎, 𝑎) should be in relation.
So, (1,1), (2,2), (3,3) should be in relation.
Symmetric means if (𝑎, 𝑏) is in relation, then (𝑏, 𝑎) should be in relation.
So, since (1,2) is in relation, (2,1) should also be in relation.
Transitive means if (𝑎, 𝑏) is in relation and (𝑏, 𝑐) is in relation, then (𝑎, 𝑐) is in relation.
So, if (1,2) is in relation and (2,1) is in relation, then (1,1) should be in relation.
Relation R1 = {(1,2), (2,1), (1,1), (2,2), (3,3)}
Total possible pairs = (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (2, 2), (2,3), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3)
So, smallest relation is 𝑅1 = {(1,2), (2,1), (1,1), (2,2), (3,3)}.
If we add (2,3)
then we have to add (3,2) also, as it is symmetric but, as (1,2) and (2,3) are there, we need to add
(1,3) also, as it is transitive.
As we are adding (1,3) we should add (3,1) also, as it is symmetric.
Relation 𝑅2 = {(1,2), (2,1), (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (2,3), (3,2), (1,3), (3,1)}
Hence, only two possible relations are there which are equivalence.
7. (d) reflexive but not symmetric
Explanation: We have,
𝑎2
− 7𝑎𝑎 + 6𝑎2
= 7𝑎2
− 7𝑎2
= 0
Therefore, 𝑎 Ra for all 𝑎 in Z
𝑆𝑜, 𝑅 is reflexive
Let 𝑎𝑅𝑏, then 𝑎2
− 7𝑎𝑏 + 6𝑏2
= 0
Consider 𝑏2
− 7𝑏𝑎 + 6𝑎2
= 𝑏2
− (𝑎2
+ 6𝑏2) + 6𝑎2
= 5𝑎2
− 5𝑏2
So, 𝑅 is not symmetric.
8. 𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑏): 2 divides (𝑎 − 𝑏)}
⇒ (𝑎 − 𝑏) is a multiple of 2.
To find equivalence class 0, put 𝑏 = 0
So, (𝑎 − 0) is a multiple of 2
⇒ 𝑎 is a multiple of 2
So, in set 𝑍 of integers, all the multiple of 2 will come in equivalence class {0}
Hence, equivalence class {0} = {2𝑥}
where 𝑥 = integer (Z).
NOTE
→ An equivalence class of 𝑎 is denoted as [𝑎] = {𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 : (𝑎, 𝑥) ∈ 𝑅}. This comprises all of 𝐴 's
elements related to letter ' 𝑎 '.
9. 𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑏): 𝑎 < 𝑏}
(A) Checking for symmetric, if (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ R such that 𝑎 < 𝑏 then, (𝑏, 𝑎) ∈ 𝑅 not possible (2,3) ∈ R
but, (3,2) ∈ R ∴ Relation 𝑅 is not symmetric.
(B) Checking for transitive,
if (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑅 and (𝑏, 𝑐) ∈ 𝑅 such that 𝑎 < 𝑏 and 𝑏 < 𝑐 then clearly, 𝑎 < 𝑐 i.e., (𝑎, 𝑐) ∈ R
∴ Relation R is transitive.
10. For reflexive:
Let 𝑎 ∈ 𝑍, then |𝑎 − 𝑎| = 0, which is divisible by 4. So, (𝑎, 𝑎) ∈ 𝑅. Thus, 𝑅 is a reflexive relation.
For symmetric:
Let 𝑎, 𝑏 ∈ 𝑍 such that |𝑎 − 𝑏| is divisible by 4. Then |𝑏 − 𝑎| is also divisible by 4
[∵ |𝑏 − 𝑎| = |𝑎 − 𝑏|]
So, (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑅 ⇒ (𝑏, 𝑎) ∈ 𝑅.
Thus, 𝑅 is a symmetric relation.
For transitive:
Let 𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐 ∈ 𝑍 and (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑅 and (𝑏, 𝑐) ∈ 𝑅.
Since (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝐑 and (𝑏, 𝑐) ∈ 𝑅
Therefore, |𝑎 − 𝑏| = 4𝑘 for some 𝑘 ∈ 𝑍
⇒ (𝑎 − 𝑏) = ±4𝑘
and |𝑏 − 𝑐| = 4𝑙 for some 𝑙 ∈ 𝑍
⇒ (𝑏 − 𝑐) = ±4𝑙
Now, (𝑎 − 𝑐) = (𝑎 − 𝑏) + (𝑏 − 𝑐)
= ±4𝑘 ± 4𝑙
= 4(±𝑘 ± 𝑙), which is divisible by 4.
So, (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ R and (𝑏, 𝑐) ∈ R
⇒ (𝑎, 𝑐) ∈ 𝑅. Thus, 𝑅 is transitive.
Since, 𝑅 is reflexive, symmetric and transitive, hence, it is an equivalence relation.
Set of elements related to 1 is {1,5,9}
Set of elements related to 2 is {2,6,10}
So, equivalence class of [2] is {2,6,10}.
11. 𝑅 = {(𝑥, 𝑦): 2𝑥 + 𝑦 = 8} is a relation on 𝑁.
Therefore, 𝑅 = {(3,2), (2,4), (1,6)}
So, Range = {2,4,6}.
12. Relation 𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑎3): 𝑎 is a prime number less than 5}.
Therefore, 𝑅 = {(2,8), (3,27)},
⇒ Range = {8,27}
13. We have,
2𝑥 + 𝑦 = 24
⇒ 𝑦 = 24 − 2𝑥
For 𝑥 = 1, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 1 = 24 − 2 = 22
For 𝑥 = 2, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 2 = 24 − 4 = 20
For 𝑥 = 3, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 3 = 24 − 6 = 18
For 𝑥 = 4, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 4 = 24 − 8 = 16
For 𝑥 = 5, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 5 = 24 − 10 = 14
For 𝑥 = 6, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 6 = 24 − 12 = 12
For 𝑥 = 7, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 7 = 24 − 14 = 10
For 𝑥 = 8, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 8 = 24 − 16 = 8
For 𝑥 = 9, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 9 = 24 − 18 = 6
For 𝑥 = 10, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 10 = 24 − 20 = 4
For 𝑥 = 11, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 11 = 24 − 22 = 2
In ordered pair, 𝑅 = {(1,22), (2,20), (3,18),
(4,16), (5,14), (6,12), (7,10), (8,8), (9,6), (10,4), (11,2)}
∴ Domain of 𝑅 = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11}
Range of 𝑅 = {22,20,18,16,14,12,10,8,6,4,2}
Here, 1 ∈ 𝑁 but (1,1) ∉ 𝑅, hence 𝑅 is not reflexive.
Hence, R is not an equivalence relation.
NOTE:
A relation is said to be equivalence if it is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
14. Let (𝑎, 𝑏) be an arbitrary element of 𝑁 × 𝑁. Then, (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑁 × 𝑁 and 𝑎, 𝑏 ∈ 𝑁
We have, 𝑎𝑏 = 𝑏𝑎; ( As 𝑎, 𝑏 ∈ 𝑁 and multiplication is commutative on N )
⇒ (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑎, 𝑏), according to the definition of the relation R on N × N.
Thus, (𝑎, 𝑏)𝑅(𝑎, 𝑏), ∀(𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ N × N.
So, 𝑅 is reflexive relation on N × N.
Let (𝑎, 𝑏), (𝑐, 𝑑) be arbitrary elements of N × N such that (𝑎, 𝑏)𝑅(𝑐, 𝑑).
Then, (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑐, 𝑑)
⇒ 𝑎𝑑 = 𝑏𝑐
⇒ 𝑏𝑐 = 𝑎𝑑
(changing LHS and RHS)
⇒ 𝑐𝑏 = 𝑑𝑎; (As 𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐, 𝑑 ∈ N and multiplication is commutative on N )
⇒ (𝑐, 𝑑)𝑅(𝑎, 𝑏); according to the definition of the relation R on N × N
Thus, (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑐, 𝑑)
⇒ (𝑐, 𝑑)𝑅(𝑎, 𝑏)
So, R is symmetric relation on N × N.
Let (𝑎, 𝑏), (𝑐, 𝑑), (𝑒, 𝑓) be arbitrary elements of N × N such that
(𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑐, 𝑑) and (𝑐, 𝑑)R(𝑒, 𝑓).
Then (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑐, 𝑑)
⇒ 𝑎𝑑 = 𝑏𝑐
and (𝑐, 𝑑)𝑅(𝑒, 𝑓)
⇒ 𝑐𝑓 = 𝑑𝑒
⇒ (𝑎𝑑)(𝑐𝑓) = (𝑏𝑐)(𝑑𝑒)
⇒ 𝑎𝑓 = 𝑏𝑒
⇒ (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑒, 𝑓); (according to the definition of the relation R on N × N )
Thus, (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑐, 𝑑) and (𝑐, 𝑑)R(𝑒, 𝑓)
⇒ (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑒, 𝑓)
So, 𝑅 is transitive relation on N × N.
As the relation 𝑅 is reflexive, symmetric and transitive so, it is equivalence relation on N × N.
[(2,6)] = {(𝑥, 𝑦) ∈ N × N: (𝑥, 𝑦)𝑅(2,6)}
= {(𝑥, 𝑦) ∈ N × N: 3𝑥 = 𝑦}
= {(𝑥, 3𝑥): 𝑥 ∈ N}
= {(1,3), (2,6), (3,9), … … . . }
15. Let 𝐴 ∈ 𝑃(𝑋). Then 𝐴 ⊂ 𝐴
⇒ (𝐴, 𝐴) ∈ 𝑅
Hence, 𝑅 is reflexive.
Let 𝐴, 𝐵, 𝐶, ∈ 𝑃(𝑋) such that
(𝐴, 𝐵), (𝐵, 𝐶) ∈ 𝑅
⇒ 𝐴 ⊂ 𝐵, 𝐵, ⊂ 𝐶
⇒ 𝐴 ⊂ 𝐶
⇒ (𝐴, 𝐶) ∈ 𝑅
Hence, 𝑅 is transitive.
𝜙, 𝑋 ∈ 𝑃(𝑋) such that 𝜙 ⊂ 𝑋. Hence, (𝜙, 𝑋) ∈ 𝑅. But X ⊄ 𝜙
which implies that (𝑋, 𝜙) ∉ 𝑅.
Thus, 𝑅 is not symmetric.
16. Let (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑁 × 𝑁. Then we have,
𝑎𝑏 = 𝑏𝑎 (by commutative property of multiplication of natural numbers)
⇒ (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑎, 𝑏)
Hence, 𝑅 is reflexive.
Let (𝑎, 𝑏), (𝑐, 𝑑) ∈ 𝑁 × 𝑁 such that (𝑎, 𝑏)𝑅(𝑐, 𝑑).
Then 𝑎𝑑 = 𝑏𝑐
⇒ 𝑐𝑏 = 𝑑𝑎 (by commutative property of multiplication of natural numbers
⇒ (𝑐, 𝑑)R(𝑎, 𝑏)
Hence, 𝑅 is symmetric.
Let (𝑎, 𝑏), (𝑐, 𝑑), (𝑒, 𝑓) ∈ 𝑁 × 𝑁 such that
(𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑐, 𝑑) and (𝑐, 𝑑)R(𝑒, 𝑓).
Then, 𝑎𝑑 = 𝑏𝑐, 𝑐𝑓 = 𝑑𝑒
⇒ 𝑎𝑑𝑐𝑓 = 𝑏𝑐𝑑𝑒
⇒ 𝑎𝑓 = 𝑏𝑒
⇒ (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑒, 𝑓)
Hence, R is transitive.
Since, 𝑅 is reflexive, symmetric and transitive, 𝑅 is an equivalence relation on 𝑁 × 𝑁.
17. A = {𝑥 ∈ 𝑍: 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 12} = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, 10,11,12}
𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑏): |𝑎 − 𝑏| is divisible by 3}
For any element 𝑎 ∈ A, we have (𝑎, 𝑎) ∈ R as |𝑎 − 𝑎| = 0 is divisible by 3.
∴ R is reflexive.
Now, let (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑅 ⇒ |𝑎 − 𝑏| is divisible 3.
⇒∣ 𝑏 − 𝑎)| = |𝑎 − 𝑏 ∣ is divisible by 3
⇒ (𝑏, 𝑎) ∈ R
∴ R is symmetric.
Now, let (𝑎, 𝑏), (𝑏, 𝑐) ∈ 𝑅.
⇒ |𝑎 − 𝑏| is divisible by 3 and |𝑏 − 𝑐| is divisible by 3.
⇒ ±(𝑎 − 𝑏) is divisible by 3 and ±(𝑏 − 𝑐) is divisible by 3.
⇒ (𝑎 − 𝑐) = (𝑎 − 𝑏) + (𝑏 − 𝑐) is divisible by 3.
and −(𝑎 − 𝑐) = −{(𝑎 − 𝑏) + (𝑏 − 𝑐)} is divisible by 3.
⇒ |𝑎 − 𝑐| is divisible by 3.
⇒ (𝑎, 𝑐) ∈ 𝑅
∴ R is transitive.
Hence, R is an equivalence relation.
18. Reflexive: Let (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑁 × 𝑁.
∵ 𝑎𝑏(𝑏 + 𝑎) = 𝑏𝑎(𝑎 + 𝑏)
⇒ (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑎, 𝑏)
⇒ 𝑅 is reflexive.
Symmetric: For (𝑎, 𝑏), (𝑐, 𝑑) ∈ 𝑁 × 𝑁 such that (𝑎, 𝑏)𝑅(𝑐, 𝑑).
∴ 𝑎𝑑(𝑏 + 𝑐) = 𝑏𝑐(𝑎 + 𝑑)
or, 𝑏𝑐(𝑎 + 𝑑) = 𝑎𝑑(𝑏 + 𝑐)
or, 𝑐𝑏(𝑑 + 𝑎) = 𝑑𝑎(𝑐 + 𝑏)
⇒ (𝑐, 𝑑)𝑅(𝑎, 𝑏)
⇒ 𝑅 is symmetric.
Transitive: Let (𝑎, 𝑏), (𝑐, 𝑑), (𝑒, 𝑓) ∈ 𝑁 × 𝑁 such that (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑐, 𝑑) and (𝑐, 𝑑)R(𝑒, 𝑓).
∴ 𝑎𝑑(𝑏 + 𝑐) = 𝑏𝑐(𝑎 + 𝑑)
and 𝑐𝑓(𝑑 + 𝑒) = 𝑑𝑒(𝑐 + 𝑓)
⇒ 𝑎𝑑𝑏 + 𝑎𝑑𝑐 = 𝑏𝑐𝑎 + 𝑏𝑐𝑑 ….(i)
and 𝑐𝑓𝑑 + 𝑐𝑓𝑒 = 𝑑𝑒𝑐 + 𝑑𝑒𝑓 ….(ii)
Multiplying (i) by 𝑒𝑓 and (ii) by 𝑎𝑏 and then adding them, we get
𝑎𝑑𝑏𝑒𝑓 + 𝑎𝑑𝑐𝑒𝑓 + 𝑐𝑓𝑑𝑎𝑏 + 𝑐𝑓𝑒𝑎𝑏 = 𝑏𝑐𝑎𝑒𝑓 + 𝑏𝑐𝑑𝑒𝑓 + 𝑑𝑒𝑐𝑎𝑏 + 𝑑𝑒𝑓𝑎𝑏
⇒ 𝑎𝑑𝑐𝑒𝑓 + 𝑎𝑑𝑐𝑓𝑏 = 𝑏𝑐𝑑𝑒𝑎 + 𝑏𝑐𝑑𝑒𝑓
⇒ adcf (𝑒 + 𝑏) = 𝑏𝑐𝑑𝑒(𝑎 + 𝑓)
⇒ 𝑎𝑓(𝑏 + 𝑒) = 𝑏𝑒(𝑎 + 𝑓)
⇒ (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑒, 𝑓)
⇒ 𝑅 is transitive.
Hence, 𝑅 is an equivalence relation.
19. Given 𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑏): |𝑎 − 𝑏| is divisible by 2}
and 𝐴 = {1,2,3,4,5}
𝑅 = {(1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5)(1,3), (1,5), (2,4), (3,5), (3,1), (5,1), (4,2), (5,3)}
Reflexive:
∀𝑎 ∈ A, (𝑎, 𝑎) ∈ R,
∴ R is reflexive
∴ [As {(1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (5,5)} ∈ 𝑅]
Symmetric
∀(𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ R, (𝑏, 𝑎) ∈ R,
∴ R is symmetric.
[ As {(1,3), (1,5), (2,4), (3,5), (3,1), (5,1), (4,2), (5,3)} ∈ 𝑅]
Transitive
∀(𝑎, 𝑏), (𝑏, 𝑐) ∈ 𝑅, (𝑎, 𝑐) ∈ R
∴ R is transitive.
[As (1,3), (3,1) ∈ 𝑅 ⇒ (1,1) ∈ 𝑅 and similarly others]
∴ R is an equivalence relation.
Equivalence classes are
and
[1] = {1,3,5}
[2] = {2,4}
[3] = {1,3,5}
[4] = {2,4}
[5] = {1,3,5}
2. FUNCTIONS AND ITS TYPES
20. (b) 2𝑛
− 2
Explanation: Given that, 𝐴 = {1,2,3, … 𝑛} and 𝐵 = {𝑎, 𝑏}
If function is surjective then its range must be set 𝐵 = {𝑎, 𝑏}
Now number of onto functions = Number of ways ' 𝑛 ' distinct objects can be distributed in two
boxes ' 𝑎 ' and ' 𝑏 ' in such a way that no box remains empty.
Now for each object there are two options, either it is put in box 'a' or in box 'b'
So total number of ways of ' 𝑛 ' different objects put in two boxes = 2 × 2 × 2 … 𝑛 times = 2𝑛
But in one case all the objects are put in box ' 𝑎 ' and in one case all the objects are put in box 'b'. So,
number of surjective functions = 2𝑛
− 2
21. (d) bijective
Explanation: Given, 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥2
For injective:
Let 𝑓(𝑥1) = 𝑓(𝑥2)
⇒ 𝑥1
2
= 𝑥2
2
⇒ 𝑥1 = 𝑥2
( ∵ - ve rejected)
So, it is injective.
For subjective:
Range = 𝑋
Co-domain = 𝑋
So, range = co-domain
So, it is subjective.
Hence, it is bijective.
22. (d) neither one-one nor onto
Explanation:
For one-one: 𝑓(𝑥1) = 𝑓(𝑥2)
⇒ 2 + 𝑥1
2
= 2 + 𝑥2
2
⇒ 𝑥1
2
= 𝑥2
2
⇒ 𝑥1 = ±𝑥2 [∵ 𝑥1, 𝑥2 ∈ 𝑅]
So, it is not one-one.
For onto:
Range = Positive real numbers
Co-domain = R
∴ Range ≠ co-domain
So, it is not onto.
Hence, 𝑓(𝑥) is neither one-one nor onto.
23. (d) neither one-one nor onto
Explanation: Given: 𝑓(𝑥) = 4 + 3cos 𝑥
Since, cos
𝜋
2
= cos �−
𝜋
2
�
⇒ 4 + 3cos
𝜋
2
= 4 + cos �−
𝜋
2
�
⇒ 𝑓 �
𝜋
2
� = 𝑓 �−
𝜋
2
�
But
𝜋
2
≠ −
𝜋
2
So, 𝑓 is not one-one.
Range of cos 𝑥 is [−1,1]
⇒ −1 ≤ cos 𝑥 ≤ 1
⇒ −3 ≤ 3cos 𝑥 ≤ 3
⇒ 1 ≤ 4 + 3cos 𝑥 ≤ 7
⇒ 1 ≤ 𝑓(𝑥) ≤ 7
So, the range of 𝑓 is [1,7]
Thus, 𝑓 is not onto.
Hence, 𝑓 is neither one-one nor onto.
24. (d) 0
Explanation: If we consider one-one function, only two elements of the set {1,2,3,4,5} can have
images.
Therefore, there can't be a one-one function from {1,2,3,4,5} → {𝑎, 𝑏}
Hence, the number of one-one functions is 0.
25. (d) fis not defined
Explanation: We have, 𝑓(𝑥) =
1
𝑥
, ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝑅
For 𝑥 = 0, 𝑓(𝑥) is not defined.
Hence, 𝑓(𝑥) is not a defined function.
26. (d) (A) is false but (R) is true.
Explanation: Assertion is false. As element 4 has no image under 𝑓, so relation 𝑓 is not a function.
Reason is true. The given function 𝑓: {1, 2,3} → {𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧, 𝑝} is one - one, as for each 𝑎 ∈ {1,2,3}, there
is a different image in {𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧, 𝑝} under 𝑓.
27. The given function is 𝑓: 𝑁 → 𝑁 such that
𝑓(𝑛) = �
𝑛 + 1
2
, if 𝑛 is odd
𝑛
2
, if 𝑛 is even
for all 𝑛 ∈ N
We shall verify whether 𝑓(𝑥) is one-one and onto.
One-One:
From the definition of 𝑓(𝑛)
𝑓(1) =
1+1
2
= 1 and 𝑓(2) =
2
2
= 1
𝑓(𝑛) is not an one-one function because at two distinct values from domain (N), 𝑓(𝑛) has same
image.
Onto: For onto function, we check whether
Range of 𝑓(𝑛) = Co-domain of 𝑓(𝑛)
Now, if 𝑛 is an odd natural number, then (2𝑛 − 1) is also an odd natural number.
Now, 𝑓(2𝑛 − 1) =
2𝑛−1+1
2
= 𝑛 … . (𝑖)
Again, if 𝑛 is an even natural number, then 2𝑛 is also an even natural number. Then,
𝑓(2𝑛) =
2𝑛
2
= 𝑛 … . (𝑖𝑖)#(𝑖𝑖)
From equations, (i) and (ii), we observe that for each 𝑛 (whether even or odd), there exists its pre-
image in N.
i.e., Range of 𝑓(𝑛) = Co-domain of 𝑓(𝑛).
Hence, 𝑓 is onto.
Since, 𝑓(𝑛) is onto but not one-one, it is not a bijective function.
28. The given function is 𝑓: 𝑋 → 𝑌 and relation on 𝑋 is 𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑏): 𝑓(𝑎) = 𝑓(𝑏)}
Reflexive:
Since, for every 𝑥 ∈ 𝑋, we have
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥)
⇒ (𝑥, 𝑥) ∈ 𝑅, ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝑋
Therefore, 𝑅 is reflexive.
Symmetric:
Let (𝑥, 𝑦) ∈ 𝑅
Then, 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑦)
⇒ 𝑓(𝑦) = 𝑓(𝑥)
⇒ (𝑦, 𝑥) ∈ 𝑅
Thus, (𝑥, 𝑦) ∈ 𝑅
⇒ (𝑦, 𝑥) ∈ 𝑅, ∀𝑥, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑋
Therefore, 𝑅 is symmetric.
Transitive:
Let 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 ∈ 𝑋 such that
(𝑥, 𝑦) ∈ 𝑅 and (𝑦, 𝑧) ∈ 𝑅
Then, 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑦) … (𝑖)
And 𝑓(𝑦) = 𝑓(𝑧) … . (𝑖𝑖)
From eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑧)
⇒ (𝑥, 𝑧) ∈ 𝑅
Thus, (𝑥, 𝑦) ∈ 𝑅 and (𝑦, 𝑧) ∈ 𝑅
⇒ (𝑥, 𝑧) ∈ 𝑅, ∀𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 ∈ 𝑅
Therefore, 𝑅 is transitive.
Since, 𝑅 is reflexive symmetric and transitive, so it is an equivalence relation.
29. Let 𝑦 ∈ 𝑁 (co-domain). Then ∃2𝑦 ∈ 𝑁 (domain) such that 𝑓(2𝑦) =
2𝑦
2
= 𝑦. Hence, 𝑓 is surjective.
1,2 ∈ 𝑁 (domain) such that 𝑓(1) = 1 = 𝑓(2)
Hence, 𝑓 is not injective.
30. Given that 𝐴 = {1,2,3}, 𝐵 = {4,5,6,7} Now, 𝑓: 𝐴 → 𝐵 is defined as 𝑓 = {(1,4), (2,5), (3,6)}.
𝑓(1) = 4, 𝑓(2) = 5, 𝑓(3) = 6, so 𝑓 is one-one.
31. We have, 𝑓(𝑥) = �
𝑥
1+𝑥
, if 𝑥 ≥ 0
𝑥
1−𝑥
, if 𝑥 < 0
Now, we consider the following cases
Case 1: when 𝑥 ≥ 0, we have 𝑓(𝑥) =
𝑥
1+𝑥
Injectivity: let 𝑥, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑅+
∪ {0} such that 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑦),
then
⇒
𝑥
1 + 𝑥
=
𝑦
1 + 𝑦
⇒ 𝑥 + 𝑥𝑦 = 𝑦 + 𝑥𝑦
⇒ 𝑥 = 𝑦
So, 𝑓 is injective function.
Surjectivity: when 𝑥 ≥ 0, we have 𝑓(𝑥) =
𝑥
1+𝑥
≥ 0 and 𝑓(𝑥) = 1 −
1
1+𝑥
< 1, as 𝑥 ≥ 0
Let 𝑦 ∈ [0,1), thus for each 𝑦 ∈ [0,1) there exists 𝑥 =
𝑦
1−𝑦
≥ 0 such that 𝑓(𝑥) =
𝑦
1−𝑦
1+
𝑦
1−𝑦
= 𝑦. So, 𝑓 is
onto function on [0, ∞) to [0,1).
Case 2: when 𝑥 < 0, we have 𝑓(𝑥) =
𝑥
1−𝑥
Injectivity: Let 𝑥, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑅−
i.e., 𝑥, 𝑦 < 0, such that 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑦), then
⇒
𝑥
1 − 𝑥
=
𝑦
1 − 𝑦
⇒ 𝑥 − 𝑥𝑦 = 𝑦 − 𝑥𝑦
⇒ 𝑥 = 𝑦
So, 𝑓 is injective function.
Surjectivity: 𝑥 < 0,
we have 𝑓(𝑥) =
𝑥
1−𝑥
< 0
also,
𝑓(𝑥) =
𝑥
1 − 𝑥
= −1 +
1
1 − 𝑥
> −1
−1 < 𝑓(𝑥) < 0.
Let 𝑦 ∈ (−1,0) be an arbitrary real number and there exists 𝑥 =
𝑦
1+𝑦
< 0 such that,
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓 �
𝑦
1 + 𝑦
� =
𝑦
1 + 𝑦
1 −
𝑦
1 + 𝑦
= 𝑦
So, for 𝑦 ∈ (−1,0), there exists 𝑥 =
𝑦
1+𝑦
< 0 such that 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑦.
Hence, 𝑓 is onto function on (−∞, 0) to (−1,0).
Case 3:
(Injectivity): Let 𝑥 > 0 and 𝑦 < 0 such that 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑦)
⇒
𝑥
1 + 𝑥
=
𝑦
1 − 𝑦
⇒ 𝑥 − 𝑥𝑦 = 𝑦 + 𝑥𝑦
⇒ 𝑥 − 𝑦 = 2𝑥𝑦,
Here LHS > 0 but RHS < 0, which is inadmissible. Hence, 𝑓(𝑥) ≠ 𝑓(𝑦) when 𝑥 ≠ 𝑦.
Hence, 𝑓 is one-one and onto function.
32.
𝑓(𝑥) = �16 − 𝑥2
for
𝑥 = 2, 𝑓(𝑥) = √12
for
𝑥 = −2, 𝑓(𝑥) = √12
Since, for 𝑥 = 2 and -2, the function has same image
∴ The given function is not one-one.
Let 𝑦 ∈ [0,4]
∴ 𝑦 ≥ 0
𝑦 = �16 − 𝑥2
𝑦2
= 16 − 𝑥2
𝑥 = �16 − 𝑦2
For 𝑥 ∈ 𝑅, 16 − 𝑦2
≥ 0
(4 − 𝑦)(4 + 𝑦) ≥ 0
⇒ Either (4 − 𝑦) ≥ 0 and (4 + 𝑦) ≥ 0 or (4 − 𝑦) < 0 and (4 + 𝑦) < 0.
∴ For every 𝑦 ∈ [0,4]∃𝑥 ∈ [−4,4] such that 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥)
∴ The given function is onto
𝑓(𝑎) = √7
�16 − 𝑎2 = √7
Squaring on both sides:
16 − 𝑎2
= 7
𝑎2
= 9
𝑎 = ±3
33. Given,
𝑓(𝑥) =
𝑥
1 + |𝑥|
, 𝑥 ∈ (−∞, 0)
=
𝑥
1 − 𝑥
[∵ 𝑥 ∈ (−∞, 0), |𝑥| = −𝑥]
For one-one:
Let 𝑓(𝑥1) = 𝑓(𝑥2), 𝑥1, 𝑥2 ∈ (−∞, 0)
⇒
𝑥1
1 − 𝑥1
=
𝑥2
1 − 𝑥2
⇒ 𝑥1(1 − 𝑥2) = 𝑥2(1 − 𝑥1)
⇒ 𝑥1 − 𝑥1𝑥2 = 𝑥2 − 𝑥1𝑥2
⇒ 𝑥1 = 𝑥2
Hence, if 𝑓(𝑥1) = 𝑓(𝑥2), then 𝑥1 = 𝑥2
∴ f is one-one
For onto:
Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑦
⇒ 𝑦 =
𝑥
1 − 𝑥
⇒ 𝑦(1 − 𝑥) = 𝑥
⇒ 𝑦 − 𝑥𝑦 = 𝑥
⇒ 𝑥 + 𝑥𝑦 = 𝑦
⇒ 𝑥(1 + 𝑦) = 𝑦
⇒ 𝑥 =
𝑦
1 + 𝑦
So, x is defined for all values of y.
∴ 𝑓 is onto.

    SOLUTIONS 1. RELATIONS ANDITS TYPES 1. (c) (6,8) ∈ 𝑅 Explanation: Given, 𝑎 = 𝑏 − 2 and 𝑏 > 6 ⇒ (6,8) ∈ R 2. (b) symmetric Explanation: We have, 𝑅 = {(1,1), (2,3), (3,2), (4,3), (3,4)} ∵ (2,2), (3,3), (4,4) ∉ 𝑅 ∴ 𝑅 is not reflexive. For (2,3) ∈ 𝑅, we have (3,2) ∈ 𝑅 Similarly for (4,3) ∈ 𝑅, we have (3,4) ∈ 𝑅. ∴ 𝑅 is symmetric. For (2,3) ∈ 𝑅 and (3,2) ∈ 𝑅, we have (2,2) ∉ 𝑅 ∴ 𝑅 is not transitive ∵ 𝑅 is not reflexive and transitive so it is not an equivalence relation. NOTE: A relation 𝑅 in a set 𝐴 is called (i) reflexive, if (𝑎, 𝑎) ∈ 𝑅, for every 𝑎 ∈ 𝐴, (ii) symmetric, if (𝑎1, 𝑎2) ∈ 𝑅 implies that (𝑎2, 𝑎1) ∈ 𝑅, For all 𝑎1, 𝑎2 ∈ 𝐴. (iii) transitive, if (𝑎1, 𝑎2) ∈ 𝑅 and (𝑎2, 𝑎3) ∈ 𝑅 implies that (𝑎1, 𝑎3) ∈ 𝑅 for all 𝑎1, 𝑎2, 𝑎3 ∈ 𝑅. 3.

    (3,1), (2,3) {neededto make 𝑅 symmetric} So, {(1,1)(3,3), (3,1), (2,3)} are required. 4. (b) {−2, −1,0,1,2} Explanation: Given, 𝑥2 + 𝑦2 ≤ 4 ⇒ 𝑦2 ≤ 4 − 𝑥2 ⇒ 𝑦 ≤ �4 − 𝑥2 For domain: 4 − 𝑥2 ≥ 0 ⇒ 𝑥2 ≤ 4 ∴ −2 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 2 So, Domain = {−2, −1,0,1,2} 5. (c) 𝑅 = {(𝑥, 𝑦) : 𝑥𝑦 is the square number; 𝑥, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑁} Explanation: When 𝑥 ∈ 𝑁, 𝑥2 is a square number So, (𝑥, 𝑥) ∈ R for all 𝑥 ∈ N. Therefore, R is reflexive. 6. (c) 2 Explanation: Total possible pairs = (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3) Reflexive means (𝑎, 𝑎) should be in relation. So, (1,1), (2,2), (3,3) should be in relation. Symmetric means if (𝑎, 𝑏) is in relation, then (𝑏, 𝑎) should be in relation. So, since (1,2) is in relation, (2,1) should also be in relation. Transitive means if (𝑎, 𝑏) is in relation and (𝑏, 𝑐) is in relation, then (𝑎, 𝑐) is in relation. So, if (1,2) is in relation and (2,1) is in relation, then (1,1) should be in relation. Relation R1 = {(1,2), (2,1), (1,1), (2,2), (3,3)} Total possible pairs = (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (2, 2), (2,3), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3) So, smallest relation is 𝑅1 = {(1,2), (2,1), (1,1), (2,2), (3,3)}. If we add (2,3) then we have to add (3,2) also, as it is symmetric but, as (1,2) and (2,3) are there, we need to add (1,3) also, as it is transitive.
  • 11.
    As we areadding (1,3) we should add (3,1) also, as it is symmetric. Relation 𝑅2 = {(1,2), (2,1), (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (2,3), (3,2), (1,3), (3,1)} Hence, only two possible relations are there which are equivalence. 7. (d) reflexive but not symmetric Explanation: We have, 𝑎2 − 7𝑎𝑎 + 6𝑎2 = 7𝑎2 − 7𝑎2 = 0 Therefore, 𝑎 Ra for all 𝑎 in Z 𝑆𝑜, 𝑅 is reflexive Let 𝑎𝑅𝑏, then 𝑎2 − 7𝑎𝑏 + 6𝑏2 = 0 Consider 𝑏2 − 7𝑏𝑎 + 6𝑎2 = 𝑏2 − (𝑎2 + 6𝑏2) + 6𝑎2 = 5𝑎2 − 5𝑏2 So, 𝑅 is not symmetric. 8. 𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑏): 2 divides (𝑎 − 𝑏)} ⇒ (𝑎 − 𝑏) is a multiple of 2. To find equivalence class 0, put 𝑏 = 0 So, (𝑎 − 0) is a multiple of 2 ⇒ 𝑎 is a multiple of 2 So, in set 𝑍 of integers, all the multiple of 2 will come in equivalence class {0} Hence, equivalence class {0} = {2𝑥} where 𝑥 = integer (Z). NOTE → An equivalence class of 𝑎 is denoted as [𝑎] = {𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 : (𝑎, 𝑥) ∈ 𝑅}. This comprises all of 𝐴 's elements related to letter ' 𝑎 '. 9. 𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑏): 𝑎 < 𝑏} (A) Checking for symmetric, if (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ R such that 𝑎 < 𝑏 then, (𝑏, 𝑎) ∈ 𝑅 not possible (2,3) ∈ R but, (3,2) ∈ R ∴ Relation 𝑅 is not symmetric. (B) Checking for transitive,

    if (𝑎, 𝑏)∈ 𝑅 and (𝑏, 𝑐) ∈ 𝑅 such that 𝑎 < 𝑏 and 𝑏 < 𝑐 then clearly, 𝑎 < 𝑐 i.e., (𝑎, 𝑐) ∈ R ∴ Relation R is transitive. 10. For reflexive: Let 𝑎 ∈ 𝑍, then |𝑎 − 𝑎| = 0, which is divisible by 4. So, (𝑎, 𝑎) ∈ 𝑅. Thus, 𝑅 is a reflexive relation. For symmetric: Let 𝑎, 𝑏 ∈ 𝑍 such that |𝑎 − 𝑏| is divisible by 4. Then |𝑏 − 𝑎| is also divisible by 4 [∵ |𝑏 − 𝑎| = |𝑎 − 𝑏|] So, (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑅 ⇒ (𝑏, 𝑎) ∈ 𝑅. Thus, 𝑅 is a symmetric relation. For transitive: Let 𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐 ∈ 𝑍 and (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑅 and (𝑏, 𝑐) ∈ 𝑅. Since (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝐑 and (𝑏, 𝑐) ∈ 𝑅 Therefore, |𝑎 − 𝑏| = 4𝑘 for some 𝑘 ∈ 𝑍 ⇒ (𝑎 − 𝑏) = ±4𝑘 and |𝑏 − 𝑐| = 4𝑙 for some 𝑙 ∈ 𝑍 ⇒ (𝑏 − 𝑐) = ±4𝑙 Now, (𝑎 − 𝑐) = (𝑎 − 𝑏) + (𝑏 − 𝑐) = ±4𝑘 ± 4𝑙 = 4(±𝑘 ± 𝑙), which is divisible by 4. So, (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ R and (𝑏, 𝑐) ∈ R ⇒ (𝑎, 𝑐) ∈ 𝑅. Thus, 𝑅 is transitive. Since, 𝑅 is reflexive, symmetric and transitive, hence, it is an equivalence relation. Set of elements related to 1 is {1,5,9} Set of elements related to 2 is {2,6,10} So, equivalence class of [2] is {2,6,10}. 11. 𝑅 = {(𝑥, 𝑦): 2𝑥 + 𝑦 = 8} is a relation on 𝑁.

    Therefore, 𝑅 ={(3,2), (2,4), (1,6)} So, Range = {2,4,6}. 12. Relation 𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑎3): 𝑎 is a prime number less than 5}. Therefore, 𝑅 = {(2,8), (3,27)}, ⇒ Range = {8,27} 13. We have, 2𝑥 + 𝑦 = 24 ⇒ 𝑦 = 24 − 2𝑥 For 𝑥 = 1, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 1 = 24 − 2 = 22 For 𝑥 = 2, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 2 = 24 − 4 = 20 For 𝑥 = 3, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 3 = 24 − 6 = 18 For 𝑥 = 4, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 4 = 24 − 8 = 16 For 𝑥 = 5, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 5 = 24 − 10 = 14 For 𝑥 = 6, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 6 = 24 − 12 = 12 For 𝑥 = 7, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 7 = 24 − 14 = 10 For 𝑥 = 8, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 8 = 24 − 16 = 8 For 𝑥 = 9, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 9 = 24 − 18 = 6 For 𝑥 = 10, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 10 = 24 − 20 = 4 For 𝑥 = 11, 𝑦 = 24 − 2 × 11 = 24 − 22 = 2 In ordered pair, 𝑅 = {(1,22), (2,20), (3,18), (4,16), (5,14), (6,12), (7,10), (8,8), (9,6), (10,4), (11,2)} ∴ Domain of 𝑅 = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11} Range of 𝑅 = {22,20,18,16,14,12,10,8,6,4,2} Here, 1 ∈ 𝑁 but (1,1) ∉ 𝑅, hence 𝑅 is not reflexive. Hence, R is not an equivalence relation.

    NOTE: A relation issaid to be equivalence if it is reflexive, symmetric and transitive. 14. Let (𝑎, 𝑏) be an arbitrary element of 𝑁 × 𝑁. Then, (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑁 × 𝑁 and 𝑎, 𝑏 ∈ 𝑁 We have, 𝑎𝑏 = 𝑏𝑎; ( As 𝑎, 𝑏 ∈ 𝑁 and multiplication is commutative on N ) ⇒ (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑎, 𝑏), according to the definition of the relation R on N × N. Thus, (𝑎, 𝑏)𝑅(𝑎, 𝑏), ∀(𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ N × N. So, 𝑅 is reflexive relation on N × N. Let (𝑎, 𝑏), (𝑐, 𝑑) be arbitrary elements of N × N such that (𝑎, 𝑏)𝑅(𝑐, 𝑑). Then, (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑐, 𝑑) ⇒ 𝑎𝑑 = 𝑏𝑐 ⇒ 𝑏𝑐 = 𝑎𝑑 (changing LHS and RHS) ⇒ 𝑐𝑏 = 𝑑𝑎; (As 𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐, 𝑑 ∈ N and multiplication is commutative on N ) ⇒ (𝑐, 𝑑)𝑅(𝑎, 𝑏); according to the definition of the relation R on N × N Thus, (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑐, 𝑑) ⇒ (𝑐, 𝑑)𝑅(𝑎, 𝑏) So, R is symmetric relation on N × N. Let (𝑎, 𝑏), (𝑐, 𝑑), (𝑒, 𝑓) be arbitrary elements of N × N such that (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑐, 𝑑) and (𝑐, 𝑑)R(𝑒, 𝑓). Then (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑐, 𝑑) ⇒ 𝑎𝑑 = 𝑏𝑐 and (𝑐, 𝑑)𝑅(𝑒, 𝑓) ⇒ 𝑐𝑓 = 𝑑𝑒 ⇒ (𝑎𝑑)(𝑐𝑓) = (𝑏𝑐)(𝑑𝑒) ⇒ 𝑎𝑓 = 𝑏𝑒 ⇒ (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑒, 𝑓); (according to the definition of the relation R on N × N ) Thus, (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑐, 𝑑) and (𝑐, 𝑑)R(𝑒, 𝑓)

Let 𝐴, 𝐵, 𝐶, ∈ 𝑃(𝑋) such that (𝐴, 𝐵), (𝐵, 𝐶) ∈ 𝑅 ⇒ 𝐴 ⊂ 𝐵, 𝐵, ⊂ 𝐶 ⇒ 𝐴 ⊂ 𝐶 ⇒ (𝐴, 𝐶) ∈ 𝑅 Hence, 𝑅 is transitive. 𝜙, 𝑋 ∈ 𝑃(𝑋) such that 𝜙 ⊂ 𝑋. Hence, (𝜙, 𝑋) ∈ 𝑅. But X ⊄ 𝜙 which implies that (𝑋, 𝜙) ∉ 𝑅. Thus, 𝑅 is not symmetric. 16. Let (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑁 × 𝑁. Then we have, 𝑎𝑏 = 𝑏𝑎 (by commutative property of multiplication of natural numbers) ⇒ (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑎, 𝑏) Hence, 𝑅 is reflexive.

Then, 𝑎𝑑 = 𝑏𝑐, 𝑐𝑓 = 𝑑𝑒 ⇒ 𝑎𝑑𝑐𝑓 = 𝑏𝑐𝑑𝑒 ⇒ 𝑎𝑓 = 𝑏𝑒 ⇒ (𝑎, 𝑏)R(𝑒, 𝑓) Hence, R is transitive. Since, 𝑅 is reflexive, symmetric and transitive, 𝑅 is an equivalence relation on 𝑁 × 𝑁. 17.

Range of cos 𝑥 is [−1,1] ⇒ −1 ≤ cos 𝑥 ≤ 1 ⇒ −3 ≤ 3cos 𝑥 ≤ 3 ⇒ 1 ≤ 4 + 3cos 𝑥 ≤ 7 ⇒ 1 ≤ 𝑓(𝑥) ≤ 7 So, the range of 𝑓 is [1,7] Thus, 𝑓 is not onto. Hence, 𝑓 is neither one-one nor onto. 24. (d) 0 Explanation: If we consider one-one function, only two elements of the set {1,2,3,4,5} can have images. Therefore, there can't be a one-one function from {1,2,3,4,5} → {𝑎, 𝑏} Hence, the number of one-one functions is 0. 25. (d) fis not defined
  • 21.
    Explanation: We have,𝑓(𝑥) = 1 𝑥 , ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝑅 For 𝑥 = 0, 𝑓(𝑥) is not defined. Hence, 𝑓(𝑥) is not a defined function. 26. (d) (A) is false but (R) is true. Explanation: Assertion is false. As element 4 has no image under 𝑓, so relation 𝑓 is not a function. Reason is true. The given function 𝑓: {1, 2,3} → {𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧, 𝑝} is one - one, as for each 𝑎 ∈ {1,2,3}, there is a different image in {𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧, 𝑝} under 𝑓. 27. The given function is 𝑓: 𝑁 → 𝑁 such that 𝑓(𝑛) = � 𝑛 + 1 2 , if 𝑛 is odd 𝑛 2 , if 𝑛 is even for all 𝑛 ∈ N We shall verify whether 𝑓(𝑥) is one-one and onto. One-One: From the definition of 𝑓(𝑛) 𝑓(1) = 1+1 2 = 1 and 𝑓(2) = 2 2 = 1 𝑓(𝑛) is not an one-one function because at two distinct values from domain (N), 𝑓(𝑛) has same image. Onto: For onto function, we check whether Range of 𝑓(𝑛) = Co-domain of 𝑓(𝑛) Now, if 𝑛 is an odd natural number, then (2𝑛 − 1) is also an odd natural number. Now, 𝑓(2𝑛 − 1) = 2𝑛−1+1 2 = 𝑛 … . (𝑖) Again, if 𝑛 is an even natural number, then 2𝑛 is also an even natural number. Then, 𝑓(2𝑛) = 2𝑛 2 = 𝑛 … . (𝑖𝑖)#(𝑖𝑖) From equations, (i) and (ii), we observe that for each 𝑛 (whether even or odd), there exists its pre- image in N. i.e., Range of 𝑓(𝑛) = Co-domain of 𝑓(𝑛).
  • 22.
    Hence, 𝑓 isonto. Since, 𝑓(𝑛) is onto but not one-one, it is not a bijective function. 28. The given function is 𝑓: 𝑋 → 𝑌 and relation on 𝑋 is 𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑏): 𝑓(𝑎) = 𝑓(𝑏)} Reflexive: Since, for every 𝑥 ∈ 𝑋, we have 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑥) ⇒ (𝑥, 𝑥) ∈ 𝑅, ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝑋 Therefore, 𝑅 is reflexive. Symmetric: Let (𝑥, 𝑦) ∈ 𝑅 Then, 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑦) ⇒ 𝑓(𝑦) = 𝑓(𝑥) ⇒ (𝑦, 𝑥) ∈ 𝑅 Thus, (𝑥, 𝑦) ∈ 𝑅 ⇒ (𝑦, 𝑥) ∈ 𝑅, ∀𝑥, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑋 Therefore, 𝑅 is symmetric. Transitive: Let 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 ∈ 𝑋 such that (𝑥, 𝑦) ∈ 𝑅 and (𝑦, 𝑧) ∈ 𝑅 Then, 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑦) … (𝑖) And 𝑓(𝑦) = 𝑓(𝑧) … . (𝑖𝑖) From eqs. (i) and (ii), we get 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑧) ⇒ (𝑥, 𝑧) ∈ 𝑅 Thus, (𝑥, 𝑦) ∈ 𝑅 and (𝑦, 𝑧) ∈ 𝑅 ⇒ (𝑥, 𝑧) ∈ 𝑅, ∀𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 ∈ 𝑅 Therefore, 𝑅 is transitive.
  • 23.
    Since, 𝑅 isreflexive symmetric and transitive, so it is an equivalence relation. 29. Let 𝑦 ∈ 𝑁 (co-domain). Then ∃2𝑦 ∈ 𝑁 (domain) such that 𝑓(2𝑦) = 2𝑦 2 = 𝑦. Hence, 𝑓 is surjective. 1,2 ∈ 𝑁 (domain) such that 𝑓(1) = 1 = 𝑓(2) Hence, 𝑓 is not injective. 30. Given that 𝐴 = {1,2,3}, 𝐵 = {4,5,6,7} Now, 𝑓: 𝐴 → 𝐵 is defined as 𝑓 = {(1,4), (2,5), (3,6)}. 𝑓(1) = 4, 𝑓(2) = 5, 𝑓(3) = 6, so 𝑓 is one-one. 31. We have, 𝑓(𝑥) = � 𝑥 1+𝑥 , if 𝑥 ≥ 0 𝑥 1−𝑥 , if 𝑥 < 0 Now, we consider the following cases Case 1: when 𝑥 ≥ 0, we have 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 1+𝑥 Injectivity: let 𝑥, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑅+ ∪ {0} such that 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑦), then ⇒ 𝑥 1 + 𝑥 = 𝑦 1 + 𝑦 ⇒ 𝑥 + 𝑥𝑦 = 𝑦 + 𝑥𝑦 ⇒ 𝑥 = 𝑦 So, 𝑓 is injective function. Surjectivity: when 𝑥 ≥ 0, we have 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 1+𝑥 ≥ 0 and 𝑓(𝑥) = 1 − 1 1+𝑥 < 1, as 𝑥 ≥ 0 Let 𝑦 ∈ [0,1), thus for each 𝑦 ∈ [0,1) there exists 𝑥 = 𝑦 1−𝑦 ≥ 0 such that 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑦 1−𝑦 1+ 𝑦 1−𝑦 = 𝑦. So, 𝑓 is onto function on [0, ∞) to [0,1). Case 2: when 𝑥 < 0, we have 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 1−𝑥 Injectivity: Let 𝑥, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑅− i.e., 𝑥, 𝑦 < 0, such that 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑦), then ⇒ 𝑥 1 − 𝑥 = 𝑦 1 − 𝑦 ⇒ 𝑥 − 𝑥𝑦 = 𝑦 − 𝑥𝑦 ⇒ 𝑥 = 𝑦 So, 𝑓 is injective function. Surjectivity: 𝑥 < 0,
  • 24.
    we have 𝑓(𝑥)= 𝑥 1−𝑥 < 0 also, 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 1 − 𝑥 = −1 + 1 1 − 𝑥 > −1 −1 < 𝑓(𝑥) < 0. Let 𝑦 ∈ (−1,0) be an arbitrary real number and there exists 𝑥 = 𝑦 1+𝑦 < 0 such that, 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓 � 𝑦 1 + 𝑦 � = 𝑦 1 + 𝑦 1 − 𝑦 1 + 𝑦 = 𝑦 So, for 𝑦 ∈ (−1,0), there exists 𝑥 = 𝑦 1+𝑦 < 0 such that 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑦. Hence, 𝑓 is onto function on (−∞, 0) to (−1,0). Case 3: (Injectivity): Let 𝑥 > 0 and 𝑦 < 0 such that 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑦) ⇒ 𝑥 1 + 𝑥 = 𝑦 1 − 𝑦 ⇒ 𝑥 − 𝑥𝑦 = 𝑦 + 𝑥𝑦 ⇒ 𝑥 − 𝑦 = 2𝑥𝑦, Here LHS > 0 but RHS < 0, which is inadmissible. Hence, 𝑓(𝑥) ≠ 𝑓(𝑦) when 𝑥 ≠ 𝑦. Hence, 𝑓 is one-one and onto function. 32. 𝑓(𝑥) = �16 − 𝑥2 for 𝑥 = 2, 𝑓(𝑥) = √12 for 𝑥 = −2, 𝑓(𝑥) = √12 Since, for 𝑥 = 2 and -2, the function has same image
  • 25.
    ∴ The givenfunction is not one-one. Let 𝑦 ∈ [0,4] ∴ 𝑦 ≥ 0 𝑦 = �16 − 𝑥2 𝑦2 = 16 − 𝑥2 𝑥 = �16 − 𝑦2 For 𝑥 ∈ 𝑅, 16 − 𝑦2 ≥ 0 (4 − 𝑦)(4 + 𝑦) ≥ 0 ⇒ Either (4 − 𝑦) ≥ 0 and (4 + 𝑦) ≥ 0 or (4 − 𝑦) < 0 and (4 + 𝑦) < 0. ∴ For every 𝑦 ∈ [0,4]∃𝑥 ∈ [−4,4] such that 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) ∴ The given function is onto 𝑓(𝑎) = √7 �16 − 𝑎2 = √7 Squaring on both sides: 16 − 𝑎2 = 7 𝑎2 = 9 𝑎 = ±3 33. Given, 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 1 + |𝑥| , 𝑥 ∈ (−∞, 0) = 𝑥 1 − 𝑥 [∵ 𝑥 ∈ (−∞, 0), |𝑥| = −𝑥] For one-one: Let 𝑓(𝑥1) = 𝑓(𝑥2), 𝑥1, 𝑥2 ∈ (−∞, 0)
  • 26.
    ⇒ 𝑥1 1 − 𝑥1 = 𝑥2 1− 𝑥2 ⇒ 𝑥1(1 − 𝑥2) = 𝑥2(1 − 𝑥1) ⇒ 𝑥1 − 𝑥1𝑥2 = 𝑥2 − 𝑥1𝑥2 ⇒ 𝑥1 = 𝑥2 Hence, if 𝑓(𝑥1) = 𝑓(𝑥2), then 𝑥1 = 𝑥2 ∴ f is one-one For onto: Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑦 ⇒ 𝑦 = 𝑥 1 − 𝑥 ⇒ 𝑦(1 − 𝑥) = 𝑥 ⇒ 𝑦 − 𝑥𝑦 = 𝑥 ⇒ 𝑥 + 𝑥𝑦 = 𝑦 ⇒ 𝑥(1 + 𝑦) = 𝑦 ⇒ 𝑥 = 𝑦 1 + 𝑦 So, x is defined for all values of y. ∴ 𝑓 is onto.
