18. Given a non-empty set X, consider the binary operation * : P (X) x P (X) P (X) given
by A * B = A B A, B in P (X), where P (X) is the power set of X. Show that X is the
identity element for this operation and X is the only invertible element in P (X) with
respect to the operation *.

Solution
1. c. { – 1, 0, 1}
Explanation: The only possible integral values of sin x are { -1 ,0, 1 }. As
2. a. {b, c}
Explanation: Since the range is represented by the y- coordinate of the ordered
pair ( x , y ). Therefore, range of the given relation is { b , c }.
5. b. {1, 2}
Explanation: Since the domain is represented by the x- coordinate of the
ordered pair (x, y). Therefore, domain of the given relation is {1, 2}.
6. symmetric
7. pq
8. reflexive

(2 * 3) * 4
= 7 * 4 = 2 (7) + 4 {now considering a= 7 and b =4}

13. i. Given set of ordered pair is {(x, y) : x is a person, y is the mother of x}.
It represents a function. Here, the image of distinct elements of x under f are not
distinct, so it is not injective but it is surjective.
ii. Set of ordered pairs = {(a, b) : a is a person, b is an ancestor of a}.
Here, each element of domain does not have a unique image. So, it does not
represent function.
14. R = {(1, 2), (2, 1)}, so for (a, a), (1, 1) R. R is not reflexive.
Also if (a, b) R then (b, a) R R is symmetric.
Now (a, b) R and (b, c) R ,then does not imply (a, c) R as (1,2) R and (2,1) R
but (1,1) R R is not transitive.
Therefore, R is symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive.

(c, d) R (a, b) for (a, b), (c, d) N N
Hence R is symmetric.
(a, b) R (c, d) a + d = b + c ..........(1)
for (a, b), (c, d) N N
And (c, d) R (e, f) c + f = d + e ...........(2)
for(c, d), (e, f) N N
Adding (1) and (2)
(a + d) + (c+f) = (b + c) + (d + e)
a + f = b+ e
(a, b) R (e, f)
Hence, R is transitive
So, R is equivalence.
16. f: R R is defined as f(x) = 10x + 7.We have to find the function g : R R, such that
gof = fog = lR·
g[f(x)]= x, x R[ IR(x) = x, x R]
g(10x + 7) = x, x R
Let 10x + 7 = y 10x = y- 7
or, g(x) =
1 2 3 4 5
1 1 1 1 1 1
2 1 2 2 2 2
3 1 2 3 3 3
4 1 2 3 4 4
5 1 2 3 4 5

18. i. Let E P(X) be the identity element .Then,
A*E = E*A = A A P(X)
Also,
Thus, E = X.
Hence,X is the identity element.
ii. Let A P(X) be invertible.
Then,there exists B P(X) such that A*B = B*A = X,
where X is the identity element.
Also,
A=B=X
