उत्तर

(i) Reflexivity:

Let x be an arbitrary element of R.

Then x is father of x cannot be true since no one can be father of himself.

So, R is not a reflexive relation.

(ii) Symmetric: 

Let (x, y) R

x is father of y.

y is son/daughter of x.

(y, x) R 

So, R is not a symmetric relation.

(iii) Transitivity:

Let (x, y) R and (y, z) R.

Then x is father of y and y is father of z.

x is grandfather of z.

(x, z) R

So, R is not a transitive relation.

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

An organization conducted a bike race under 2 different categories-boys and girls. Totally there were 250 participants. 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} G={g1,g2} where B represents the set of boys selected and G the set of girls who were selected for the final race.

Ravi decides to explore these sets for various types of relations and functions.
