उत्तर

Set A is the set of all books in the library of a college.

(i) Reflexive:

R = {(x, y) : x and y have the same number of pages}

Since (x, x) ∈ R as x and x have the same number of pages.

∴ R is reflexive

(ii) Symmetric:

Let (x, y) ∈ R

⇒ x and y have the same number of pages.

⇒ y and x have the same number of pages.

⇒ (y, x) ∈ R

∴ R is symmetric.

(iii) Transitive:

Now, let (x, y) ∈ R and (y, z) ∈ R.

⇒ x and y have the same number of pages and y and z have the same number of pages.

⇒ x and z have the same number of pages.

⇒ (x, z) ∈ R

∴ R is transitive.

Hence, R is an equivalence relation.

Read the following passage:

An organization conducted bike race under two different categories – Boys and Girls. There were 28 participants in all. Among all of them, finally three from category 1 and two from category 2 were selected for the final race. Ravi forms two sets B and G with these participants for his college project.
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)
  3. Let R : B `rightarrow` B be defined by R = {(x, y) : x and y are students of the same sex}. Check if R is an equivalence relation. (2)
    OR
