In the previous article , we have discussed about Exercise-2A of the chapter RELATION AND MAPPING (OR FUNCTION): Part-1 as a part of S.N.Dey Math solution series.
In this article, we will discuss about all solutions of Short and Very Short Answer Type Questions (Exercise-2B ). So, let us start.
Very Short Answer Type Questions (Exercise-2B )
1. Define a relation from the set $\,A\,$ to the set $\,B\,$.
What do you mean by the domain, range and co-domain of a relation?
Sol. If $\, \mathbb R\,$ be a relation from a set $\,A\,$ to a set $\,B\,$,then the domain of the relation $\, \mathbb R\,$ is the set of all first elements (or co-ordinates) of the ordered pairs which belong to $\, \mathbb R\,$. Thus, Dom. ($\, \mathbb R\,$) [i.e., domain of $\, \mathbb R] = \{x: (x, y) = \mathbb R\}$
The range of the relation $\, \mathbb R\,$ is the set of all second elements
(or co-ordinates) of the ordered pairs which belong to $\, \mathbb R\,$.
Thus, Range ($\, \mathbb R\,$) [ie., range of $\, \mathbb R] = \{y: (x, y) = \mathbb R\,\}$.
From the above definitions it is evident that the domain of a relation from $\,A\,$ to $\,B\,$ is a subset of $\,A\,$ while its range is a subset of $\,B\,$.
The set $\,B\,$ is called the co-domain of relation $\, \mathbb R\,$.
2. Find all the relations from the set $\,A=(1, 2)\,$ to the set $\,B = {3}.\,$
Sol. The relations from the set $\,A=(1, 2)\,$ to the set $\,B = {3}\,$ is given by : $\,\, \phi, \{(1,3)\},\,\{(2,3)\},\,\{(1,3),(2,3)\}$
3. If $\,\mathbb R\,$ is the relation "is greater than" from $\,A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}\,$ to $\,\,B = \{1, 3, 4\}\,$, write $\,\mathbb R\,$ as the set of ordered pairs. Also find $\,\mathbb R^{-1}\,$.
Sol. We have, $\,\mathbb R\,$ is the relation "is greater than" from $\,A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}\,$ to $\,\,B = \{1, 3, 4\}\,$, which means if $\,\mathbb R\,$ be the relation from $\,A\,$ to $\,B\,\,\,\,$defined by , $\,\,(x,y) \in \mathbb R \Rightarrow x >y.$ Under the defined relation $\,\mathbb R\,$ from $\,A\,$ to $\,B\,\,\,\,$, we can say that as a set of ordered pairs the relation $\,\mathbb R\,$ is given by : $\,\, \mathbb R=\{(2, 1), (3, 1), (4, 1), (4, 3), (5, 1),\\ (5, 3), (5,4)\}$.
By definition , the inverse relation of $\,\mathbb R\,$, i.e., $\,\mathbb R^{-1}=\{(y,x): (x,y) \in \mathbb R\}\\=\{(1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (3, 4), (1, 5),\\ (3, 5),(4,5)\}\,$
4. Let $\,\,S = \{a, b, c, d, e\}\,$ and $\,\mathbb R\,\,$ be a relation on $\,S\,$ defined by,
$\,\mathbb R=\{(b, a), (b, d), (d, b), (d, d), (e, b)\},\,\,$
find the (i) domain (ii) range and (iii) inverse of $\,\mathbb R\,\,$.
Sol. By definition, we have
Dom. ($ \mathbb R\,) = \{x: (x, y) = \mathbb R\} = \{b, d, e\}\,$
Range $\,\,(\mathbb R) = \{y: (x, y) =\mathbb R\} = \{a,b,d\}\,\,$ and
By definition , the inverse relation of $\,\mathbb R\,$, i.e., $\,\mathbb R^{-1}=\{(y,x): (x,y) \in \mathbb R\}\\=\{(a, b), (d, b), (b, d), (d, d), (b, e)\}\,$
5. A relation $\,\mathbb R\,\,$ is defined on the set $\,\,A = \{2, 3, 4, 6\}\,\,$ as follows:
$\,\,(x, y) = \mathbb R \Rightarrow x\,\,$ and $\,y\,$ are relatively prime. Write $\mathbb R$ as a set of ordered pairs. Also find Dom. ($\mathbb R$) and Range ($\mathbb R$).
Sol. $\,\,\mathbb R= \{(2, 3), (3, 2), (3, 4), (4, 3)\} \rightarrow(1)$.
By definition, we get from (1),
Dom. ($\, \mathbb R\,$) [i.e., domain of $\, \mathbb R] = \{x: (x, y) = \mathbb R\}\\ \implies \text{Dom.} (\mathbb R) = (2, 3, 4)\,\,\,$
and Range $(\mathbb R) = \{2, 3, 4\}$
# 6. Find $\,\,\mathbb R^{-1}$ in each of the following cases: $(i)\,\,\mathbb R= \{(1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 4), (2, 3), (3, 2), (4,3)\} \\ (ii) \,\,\mathbb R=\{(x, y): x \in \mathbb N, y \in \mathbb N \wedge 2x+y=10\}$
Sol. (i) By definition , the inverse relation of $\,\mathbb R\,$, i.e.,
$ \,\mathbb R^{-1}=\{(y,x): (x,y) \in \mathbb R\}\\=\{(2, 1), (3, 1), (4, 2), (3, 2), (2, 3), (3,4)\}\,$
(ii) In the second case, $\,\,\mathbb R $ can be redefined as $ \,\,\mathbb R=\{(x, y): x \in \mathbb N, y \in \mathbb N \wedge 2x+y=10\}\\=\{(1,8),(2,6),(3,4),(4,2)\}$
and hence
$ \,\mathbb R^{-1}=\{(y,x): (x,y) \in \mathbb R\}\\=\{(8, 1), (6, 2), (4, 3), (2,4)\}\,$
7. Let $\,\,A = \{2, 3, 4, 5\}\,\,$ and $\,B=\{8, 9, 10, 11\}\,\,$ and let $\,\mathbb R \,$ be a relation from $\,A\,$ to $\,B\,$ defined by, $\,x \,\,\mathbb R\,\, y\, \implies $" x divides y". Find $\,\mathbb R \,$ as a set of ordered pairs and also find its domain and range.
Sol. We have, $\,\mathbb R\,$ is the relation "x divides y" from $\,A = \{2, 3, 4, 5\}\,$ to $\,\,B = \{8, 9, 10, 11\}\,$, which means if $\,\mathbb R\,$ be the relation from $\,A\,$ to $\,B\,\,\,\,$defined by , $\,\,(x,y) \in \mathbb R \Rightarrow x \,\,\text{divides}\,\,y.$
Under the defined relation $\,\mathbb R\,$ from $\,A\,$ to $\,B\,\,\,\,$, we can say that as a set of ordered pairs the relation $\,\mathbb R\,$ is given by : $\,\, \mathbb R=\{(2, 8), (2, 10), (3, 9), (4, 8), (5, 10)\}$.
Dom.$\,(\mathbb R) = \{2, 3, 4, 5\}\,\,$ and
Range $\,( \mathbb R)=\{8, 9, 10\}$
Short Answer Type Questions (Exercise-2B )
1. Write the following relations as the sets of ordered pairs: $\,(i)\,$ A relation $\, \mathbb R\,$ on the set $\,A\,$ of first six natural numbers defined by,
$\,(x, y) \in \mathbb R \implies x$ is relatively prime to $\,y\,$
(ii) A relation $\,\mathbb R\,$ defined on the set of natural numbers N by, $\,\,(x, y) \in \,\mathbb R,\,\,\,\, 2x + y = 10\,\,$ for all $\,\,x, y \in \mathbb N$
(iii) A relation $\,\mathbb R\,$ defined on the set $\,\,A = \{2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}\,$ by, $a \,\mathbb R\, b \implies |a-b|\,\,$ is divisible by $\,3\,$
Sol. (i) $\,\,A=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\} $
So, by the given problem we have,
$\,\mathbb R = \{(x,y): x,y \in A , \text{where, x is relatively prime to y}\}\\=\{(2, 3), (3, 2), (3, 4), (4, 3), (2, 5), (5, 2), \\(3, 5), (5, 3), (4, 5), (5, 4), (5, 6), (6,5)\}$
(ii)$\,\,2x+y=10 \\ \implies y=(10-2x) \wedge x,y \in \mathbb N $
For respective values of $x=1,2,3,4\,$ we get, $y=8,6,4,2.$
Hence, $\,\,\mathbb R=\{ (x,y): x,y \in \mathbb N \wedge 2x + y = 10\}\\=\{(1, 8), (2, 6), (3, 4), (4, 2)\}$
(iii) $\mathbb R=\{(a,b): |a-b| \,\text{is divisible by}\, \,3\, \wedge a,b \in A\} \\ \implies R=\{(2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6), \\(2, 5),(5,2), (3, 6), (6, 3)\}$
2. A relation $\,\mathbb R\,$ on the set of natural numbers $\,\mathbb N\,$is defined as follows: $\,\mathbb R\,=\{(x, y); x+5y = 20,\,\, x, y \in \mathbb N\};$ find the domain and range of $\mathbb R$.
Sol. $x+5y = 20 ,\, x,y \in \mathbb N \\ \implies y=20-5y. $
Now, $\,\mathbb R\,=\{(x, y); x+5y = 20,\,\, x, y \in \mathbb N\}; \\ \implies R=\{(15, 1), (10, 2), (5, 3)\} \\ \text{Dom.} (R) = \{15, 10, 5\} \\ \text{and Range} (R) =\{1, 2, 3\}$
3. Let $\,\,A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8\}\,\,$ and a relation $\,\mathbb R\,$ on $\,A\,$ is
given by, $\,\mathbb R=\{(x, y):x \in A, \,\,\, y \in A \,\text{and}\, 2x + y = 12\}$.
Find $\,\mathbb R\,$ and $\,\mathbb R^{-1}$ as sets of ordered pairs. Also find domains and ranges of $\,\mathbb R\,$ and $\,\mathbb R^{-1}$.
Sol. $\, 2x + y = 12, \,\, x,y \in A \\ \implies y=12-2x,\,\, x,y \in A\,$
Now, for $\,\,x=2,3,4,5\,\,$ respective values of $y=8,6,4,2.$
Now, $\,\,\mathbb R=\{(x,y): x \in A ,\, y \in A \wedge 2x+y=12\}\\=\{(2, 8), (3, 6), (4, 4), (5, 2)\} $
Hence , $\mathbb R^{-1}= \{(y,x): (x,y) \in \mathbb R\}\\=\{(8, 2), (6, 3), (4, 4), (2, 5)\}$
Dom. $( \mathbb R) =\{x: (x,y) \in \mathbb R\}= \{2, 3, 4, 5\}$
Range $(\mathbb R)=\{y:(x,y) \in \mathbb R\}=\{8,6,4,2\}$
Now, Dom $(\mathbb R^{-1})=\text{Range} (\mathbb R) \\=\{8,6,4,2\}$
And Range $(\mathbb R^{-1})=\text{Dom}(\mathbb R)= \{2, 3, 4, 5\}$
4. Find the domain and range of each of the following relations:
(i) $R_1=\{(a,\frac1a): 0 <a<5 \wedge a\,\, \text{is an integer}\}$
Sol. $R_1=\{(a,\frac1a): 0 <a<5 \wedge a\ \in I,\,\,\text{I being set of integers}\}\\ \Rightarrow R_1=\{(1,1),(2,\frac12),(3,\frac13),(4,\frac14)\}$
Now, Domain of $R_1=\{a: (a,\frac1a) \in R_1\}=\{1,2,3,4\}$
Range of $(R_1)=\{\frac1a:(a,\frac1a )\in R_1\}\\=\{1,\frac12,\frac13,\frac14\}$
(ii) $R_2=\{(x,y): x,y \in I \wedge xy=4\}\\ \implies R_2=\{(1,4),(2,2),(4,1),(-1,-4),\\(-2,-2),(-4,-1) \}$
Dom. $(R_2)=\{x: (x,y) \in R_2\}\\=\{1,2,4,-1,-2,-4\}$
Range $(R_2)=\{y: (x,y) \in R_2\}\ \\=\{1,2,4,-1,-2,-4\}$
