Chapter 1 Relations and Functions

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 }.

3. d. {(8, 11), (10, 13)}

Explanation: R is a relation from {11, 12, 13} to {8, 10, 12} defined by y = x – 3.
The relation is given by x = y + 3, from {8, 10, 12} to { 11, 12, 13} relation
= {(8,11),(10,13)}.

4. c. f is both one – one and onto

Explanation: A function is defined to be one – one (or
injective),if f in X in Y. and

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

9. Given, A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {4, 5, 6, 7} and

f:A B is defined as f = {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)} i.e. f(1) = 4, f(2) = 5 and f(3) = 6.
It can be seen that the images of distinct elements of A under f are distinct. So, f is
one-one.In other words, no two elements of set A are associated with set B which
implies that there is one to one correspondence between X and Y.

10. We are given that * : R R R such that a * b = 2a+ b.

Now, on putting a = 2 and b = 3, we get
(2 * 3) = 2(2) + 3= 4 + 3 = 7

3/6
 (2 * 3) * 4
= 7 * 4 = 2 (7) + 4 {now considering a= 7 and b =4}
= 14 + 4
= 18.

11. (a, b) R, and (b, c) R (a, c) R.

12. To find: gof and fog

i. f(x) = |x| and g(x) = |5x - 2|

gof = g[f(x)] = g[|x|] = |5|x|-2| and fog=f(g(x))=f(|5x-2|) =||5x-2|| = |5x-2|

ii. f(x) = 8x3 and g(x) =

gof = g[f(x)] = g[8x3] = 2x

and fog = f[g(x)] = 8x

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.

15. (a, b) R (c, d) a + d = b + c where a, b, c, d N

(a, b ) R (a, b) a + b = a + b for all (a, b) N N
R is reflexive
Now
(a, b) R (c, d) a + d = b + c for (a, b ) (c, d) N N
d+a=c+b
c+b=d+a

4/6
 (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·

Given, f(x) = 10x + 7

Also, gof = fog = IR

Now, gof = IR gof(x) = IR(x)

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) =

17. Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} defined by a ^ b = min{a, b} i.e., minimum of a and b.

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

5/6
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

Hence, X is the only invertible element and X-1 = B = X.
