Relations and Functions
Exercise 1.3
Short Answer (S.A.)
1. Let A = {a, b, c} and the relation R be defined on A as follows:
R = {(a, a), (b, c), (a, b)}.
Then, write minimum number of ordered pairs to be added in R to make R reflexive and
transitive.
Solution:
2. Let D be the domain of the real valued function f defined by f(x) = √(25 – x2). Then, write D.
Solution:
Given,
f(x) = 2x + 1 and g (x) = x2 – 2, ∀ x ∈ R
Thus, g o f = g (f (x))
= g (2x + 1)
= (2x + 1)2 – 2
= 4x2 + 4x + 1 – 2
= 4x2 + 4x - 1
Given function,
f (x) = 2x - 3, ∀ x ∈ R
Let y = 2x – 3
x = (y + 3)/ 2
Thus,
f -1(x) = (x + 3)/ 2
5. If A = {a, b, c, d} and the function f = {(a, b), (b, d), (c, a), (d, c)}, write f –1.
Solution:
Given,
A = {a, b, c, d} and f = {(a, b), (b, d), (c, a), (d, c)}
So,
f -1 = {(b, a), (d, b), (a, c), (c, d)}
Given, f (x) = x2 – 3x + 2
Then,
f (f (x)) = f (x2 – 3x + 2)
= (x2 – 3x + 2)2 – 3(x2 – 3x + 2) + 2,
= x4 + 9x2 + 4 – 6x3 + 4x2 – 12x – 3x2 + 9x – 6 + 2
= x4 – 6x3 + 10x2 – 3x
Thus,
f (f (x)) = x4 – 6x3 + 10x2 – 3x
7. Is g = {(1, 1), (2, 3), (3, 5), (4, 7)} a function? If g is described by g (x) = αx + β, then what value
should be assigned to α and β.
Solution:
8. Are the following set of ordered pairs functions? If so, examine whether the mapping is injective
or surjective.
(i) {(x, y): x is a person, y is the mother of x}.
(ii){(a, b): a is a person, b is an ancestor of a}.
Solution:
9. If the mappings f and g are given by f = {(1, 2), (3, 5), (4, 1)} and g = {(2, 3), (5, 1), (1, 3)}, write
f o g.
Solution:
Given,
f = {(1, 2), (3, 5), (4, 1)} and g = {(2, 3), (5, 1), (1, 3)}
Now,
fog (2) = f(g(2)) = f(3) = 5
fog (5) = f(g(5)) = f(1) = 2
fog (1) = f(g(1)) = f(3) = 5
Thus,
fog = {(2, 5), (5, 2), (1, 5)}
10. Let C be the set of complex numbers. Prove that the mapping f: C → R given by f (z) = |z|, ∀ z
∈ C, is neither one-one nor onto.
Solution:
11. Let the function f: R → R be defined by f (x) = cos x, ∀ x ∈ R. Show that f is neither one-one
nor onto.
Solution:
We have,
f: R → R, f(x) = cos x
Now,
f (x1) = f (x2)
cos x1 = cos x2
x1 = 2nπ ± x2, n ∈ Z
It’s seen that the above equation has infinite solutions for x1 and x2
Hence, f(x) is many one function.
Also the range of cos x is [-1, 1], which is subset of given co-domain R.
Therefore, the given function is not onto.
12. Let X = {1, 2, 3} and Y = {4, 5}. Find whether the following subsets of X × Y are functions from
X to Y or not.
(i) f = {(1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 5)} (ii) g = {(1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 4)}
(iii) h = {(1,4), (2, 5), (3, 5)} (iv) k = {(1,4), (2, 5)}.
Solution:
13. If functions f: A → B and g: B → A satisfy g o f = IA, then show that f is one-one and g is onto.
Solution:
Given,
f: A → B and g: B → A satisfy g o f = I A
It’s clearly seen that function ‘g’ is inverse of ‘f’.
So, ‘f’ has to be one-one and onto.
Hence, ‘g’ is also one-one and onto.
14. Let f: R → R be the function defined by f(x) = 1/(2 – cos x) ∀ x ∈ R. Then, find the range of f.
Solution:
Given,
f(x) = 1/(2 – cos x) ∀ x ∈ R
Let y = 1/(2 – cos x)
2y – ycos x = 1
cos x = (2y - 1)/ y
cos x = 2 – 1/y
Now, we know that -1 ≤ cos x ≤ 1
So,
-1 ≤ 2 – 1/y ≤ 1
-3 ≤ – 1/y ≤ -1
1 ≤ – 1/y ≤ 3
1/3 ≤ y ≤ 1
Thus, the range of the given function is [1/3, 1].
15. Let n be a fixed positive integer. Define a relation R in Z as follows: ∀ a, b ∈ Z, aRb if and only
if a – b is divisible by n. Show that R is an equivalance relation.
Solution:
(iii) Let R3 = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3)}
R3 is reflexive as (1, 1) (2, 2) and (3, 3) ∈ R1
R3 is symmetric as (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 3) ∈ R1 ⇒ (2, 1), (3, 1), (3, 2) ∈ R1
Therefore, R3 is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
18. Given A = {2, 3, 4}, B = {2, 5, 6, 7}. Construct an example of each of the following:
(a) an injective mapping from A to B
(b) a mapping from A to B which is not injective
(c) a mapping from B to A.
Solution:
Given,
A = R – {3}, B = R – {1}
And,
f : A → B be defined by f (x) = x – 2/ x – 3 ∀ x ∈ A
Hence, f (x) = (x – 3 + 1)/ (x – 3) = 1 + 1/ (x – 3)
Let f(x1) = f (x2)
21. Let A = [–1, 1]. Then, discuss whether the following functions defined on A are one-one, onto
or bijective:
(i) f(x) = x/2 (ii) g(x) = |x|
(iii) h(x) = x|x| (iv) k(x) = x2
Solution:
Given, A = [–1, 1]
(i) f: [-1, 1] → [-1, 1], f (x) = x/2
Let f (x1) = f(x2)
x1/ 2 = x2
So, f (x) is one-one.
Also x ∈ [-1, 1]
x/2 = f (x) = [-1/2, 1/2]
Hence, the range is a subset of co-domain ‘A’
So, f (x) is not onto.
Therefore, f (x) is not bijective.
(iv) k (x) = x2
Let k (x1) = k (x2)
x12 = x22
x1 = ± x2
Therefore, k (x) is not one-one.
(ii) x + y = 10; x, y ∈ N
Thus,
R = {(x, y); x + y = 10, x, y ∈ N}
R = {(1, 9), (2, 8), (3, 7), (4, 6), (5, 5), (6, 4), (7, 3), (8, 2), (9, 1)}
It’s clear (1, 1) ∉ R
So, R is not reflexive.
(x, y) ∈ R ⇒ (y, x) ∈ R
Therefore, R is symmetric.
Now (1, 9) ∈ R, (9, 1) ∈ R, but (1, 1) ∉ R
Therefore, R is not transitive.
(iv) x + 4y = 10; x, y ∈ N
R = {(x, y): x + 4y = 10; x, y ∈ N}
R = {(2, 2), (6, 1)}
It’s clearly seen (1, 1) ∉ R
Hence, R is not symmetric.
(x, y) ∈ R ⇒ x + 4y = 10
And (y, z) ∈ R ⇒ y + 4z = 10
⇒ x – 16z = -30
⇒ (x, z) ∉ R
Therefore, R is not transitive.
23. Let A = {1, 2, 3, ... 9} and R be the relation in A ×A defined by (a, b) R (c, d) if a + d = b + c for
(a, b), (c, d) in A ×A. Prove that R is an equivalence relation and also obtain the equivalent class
[(2, 5)].
Solution:
Given, A = {1, 2, 3, ... 9} and (a, b) R (c, d) if a + d = b + c for (a, b), (c, d) ∈ A ×A.
Let (a, b) R(a, b)
So, a + b = b + a, ∀ a, b ∈ A which is true for any a, b ∈ A.
Thus, R is reflexive.
Let (a, b) R(c, d)
Then,
a+d=b+c
c+b=d+a
(c, d) R(a, b)
Thus, R is symmetric.
Let (a, b) R(c, d) and (c, d) R(e, f)
a + d = b + c and c + f = d + e
a + d = b + c and d + e = c + f
(a + d) – (d + e = (b + c) – (c + f)
a–e=b–f
a+f=b+e
(a, b) R(e, f)
So, R is transitive.
The equivalence class [(2, 5)] = {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6), (4, 7), (5, 8), (6, 9)}
Therefore, R is an equivalence relation.
24. Using the definition, prove that the function f : A→ B is invertible if and only if f is both one-
one and onto.
Solution:
26. Let * be the binary operation defined on Q. Find which of the following binary operations are
commutative
(i) a * b = a – b ∀ a, b ∈Q (ii) a * b = a2 + b2 ∀ a, b ∈ Q
(iii) a * b = a + ab ∀ a, b ∈ Q (iv) a * b = (a – b)2 ∀ a, b ∈ Q
Solution:
(C) equivalence
Given aRb, if a is congruent to b, ∀ a, b ∈ T.
Then, we have aRa ⇒ a is congruent to a; which is always true.
So, R is reflexive.
Let aRb ⇒ a ~ b
b~a
bRa
So, R is symmetric.
Let aRb and bRc
a ~ b and b ~ c
a~c
aRc
So, R is transitive.
Therefore, R is equivalence relation.
29. Consider the non-empty set consisting of children in a family and a relation R defined as aRb
if a is brother of b. Then R is
(A) symmetric but not transitive (B) transitive but not symmetric
(C) neither symmetric nor transitive (D) both symmetric and transitive
Solution:
30. The maximum number of equivalence relations on the set A = {1, 2, 3} are
(A) 1 (B) 2
(C) 3 (D) 5
Solution:
(D) 5
Given, set A = {1, 2, 3}
Now, the number of equivalence relations as follows
R1 = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)}
R2 = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1, 2), (2, 1)}
R3 = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1, 3), (3, 1)}
R4 = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (2, 3), (3, 2)}
R5 = {(1, 2, 3) ⇔ A x A = A2}
Thus, maximum number of equivalence relation is ‘5’.
