उत्तर

(i) Reflexive:

R = {(x, y) : x is exactly 7 cm taller than y}

Now, (x, x) ∉ R

Since a human being (x) cannot be taller than himself.

∴ R is not reflexive.

(ii) Symmetric:

Now, let (x, y) ∈ R

⇒ x is exactly 7 cm taller than y.

Then, y is not taller than x.

∴ (y, x) ∉ R

Indeed, if x is exactly 7 cm taller than y, then y is exactly 7 cm shorter than x.

∴ R is not symmetric.

(iii) Transitive:

Now, let (x, y), (y, z) ∈ R

⇒ x is exactly 7 cm taller than y, and y is exactly 7 cm taller than z.

⇒ x is exactly 14 cm taller than z.

∴ (x, z) ∉ R

∴ R is not transitive.

Hence, R is not reflexive, not symmetric and not transitive.

Read the following passage:

An organization conducted bike race under two different categories – Boys and Girls. There were 28 participants in all.

Let B = {b1, b2, b3} and G = {g1, g2}, where B represents the set of Boys selected and G the set of Girls selected for the final race.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

  1. How many relations are possible from B to G? (1)
  2. Among all the possible relations from B to G, how many functions can be formed from B to G? (1)
