Some important QueStionS
1. Show that each of the relation R in the set A = {x Z : 0 ≤x ≤12}, given by
R = {(a, b) : |a – b| is a multiple of 4} is an equivalence relation. Find the set of all
elements related to 1.
2. A function f : [-4 , 4] → [ 0 ,4] is given by f(x) = √16 − 𝑥 . Show that f is an
onto function but not a one – one function. Further find all possible value of a for
which f(a)=√7. (CBSE 2023)
𝑥 + 1 , 𝑖𝑓 𝑥 𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑑𝑑
3. Show that f :N N, given by 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = is bijective function.
𝑥 − 1, 𝑖𝑓 𝑥 𝑖𝑠 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛
4. Let A = R – {3} and B = R – {1}. Consider the function f : A B defined by
f (x) = Is f one-one and onto? Justify your answer.
5. Consider f :R+ [– 5, ) given by f (x) = 9 x2 + 6x – 5. Show that f is bijective.
6. Let f : W W be defined as f (n) = n – 1, if n is odd and
f (n) = n + 1, if n is even. Show that f is bijective.Here, W is the set of all whole
numbers.
7. let N denote the set of all natural numbers and R be the relation on Nx N defined
by (a, b) R ( c, d) ► ad (b+c) = bc ( a+d) check whether R is an equivalence
relation on NxN.
8. let N denote the set of all natural numbers and R be the relation on N x N defined
by (a, b) R ( c, d) ► a + d = b + c. Show that R is an equivalence Relation
9. 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.
10. let R = { (a, b) : a – b + √2 is an irrational number }. Check whether R is
reflexive , symmetric and transitive. Justify your answer in each case( CBSE 2024 )
11. Check whether the relation R in R defined by R = {(a, b) : a ≤ b 3} is reflexive,
symmetric or transitive.
12.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.
