I. Attempt all questions: [10 × 3 = 30]
a) Show that the relation R in the set R of real numbers, defined as R = {(a, b) : a ≤ b2} is
neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.
b) Let T be the set of all triangles in a plane with R a relation in T given by R = {(T1, T2)
: T1 is congruent to T2}. Show that R is an equivalence relation.
c) Show that the relation R in the set Z of integers given by R = {(a, b) : 2 divides a – b}is
an equivalence relation.
d) Show that an onto function f : {1, 2, 3} → {1, 2, 3} is always one-one.
e) Show that the relation R in the set {1, 2, 3} given by R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1, 2),
(2, 3)} is reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive.
f) Prove that the function f : R → R, given by f (x) = 2x, is one-one and onto.
g) Find gof and fog, if f : R → R and g : R → R are given by f (x) = cos x and g (x) = 3x2.
Show that gof ≠ fog.
h) Let A = {1, 2, 3}. Then show that the number of relations containing (1, 2) and (2, 3)
which are reflexive and transitive but not symmetric is three.
i) Consider the identity function IN : N → N defined as IN (x) = x ∀ x ∈ N. Show that
although IN is onto but IN + IN : N → N defined as (IN + IN) (x) = IN (x) + IN (x) = x +
x = 2x is not onto.
j) Show that the function f : R → R given by f (x) = x3 is injective.
II. Attempt all questions: [5 × 4 = 20]
a) Show that f : N → N, given by
f (x) = x + 1, if x is odd,
x - 1, if x is even
is both one-one and onto.
b) (i) Given a non-empty set X, consider P(X) which is the set of all subsets of X. Define
the relation R in P(X) as follows:
For subsets A, B in P(X), ARB if and only if A ⊂ B. Is R an equivalence relation on
P(X)? Justify your answer.
(ii) Consider a function f : [ 0, π/2 ] → R given by f (x) = sin x and g : [ 0, π/2 ] → R
given by g(x) = cos x. Show that f and g are one-one, but f + g is not one-one.
c) Find the number of all onto functions from the set {1, 2, 3,...., n} to itself.
d) Let A = {– 1, 0, 1, 2}, B = {– 4, – 2, 0, 2} and f, g : A → B be functions defined by f
(x) = x2 – x, x∈ A and g (x) = 2 | x – ½ | - 1, x ∈ A. Are f and g equal? Justify your
answer.
e) i) Let R be a relation on the set A of ordered pairs of positive integers defined by (x, y)
R (u, v) if and only if xv = yu. Show that R is an equivalence relation.
ii) Let f : N → Y be a function defined as f (x) = 4x + 3, where, Y = {y ∈ N: y = 4x + 3
for some x ∈ N}. Show that f is invertible. Find the inverse.
