Question
The following defines a relation on N:
x + y = 10, x, y ∈ N
Determine which of the above relations are reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
Advertisements
Solution
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.

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.
- Ravi wishes to form all the relations possible from B to G. How many such relations are possible?
