Solution

Let L be a set of all straight lines in a plane. The relation R on L defined as 'perpendicular to' is symmetric.

Explanation:

The relation is symmetric, meaning that if a line (I) is perpendicular to line (m), then line (m) is also perpendicular to line I.

However, if line (l) is perpendicular to line (m) and line (m) is perpendicular to line (n).

Then, lines 'I' and 'n' are parallel rather than perpendicular, but is parallel.

As a result, the provided relation is only symmetric.

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.
