Q5 of 109 Page 1

Let R be the relation over the set of all straight lines in a plane such that ℓ1 R ℓ2⬄ ℓ1⊥ ℓ2. Then, R is

Think of line as a vector quantity:

As ℓ1⊥ ℓ2;


And ℓ2⊥ ℓ1


Hence R is symmetric.


Also Given a relation R over straight lines such that ℓ1⊥ ℓ2


As ℓ1⊥ ℓ2:


⇒ ℓ1. ℓ2=0(DOT PRODUCT)


∵ cos θ =0 as θ =90°;


⇒ This thing is possible if ℓ1 and ℓ2 are symmetric.


E.g. A= 2i-4j and B=-4i-2j


⇒ A. B=-8+8=0

R is a relation on the set Z of integers and it is given by (x, y) ϵ R ⬄ |x – y| ≤ 1. Then, R is

 4

The relation R defined on the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} by R = is given by

If A = {a, b, c}, then the relation R = {(b, c)} on A is

Let A = {2, 3, 4, 5, …, 17, 18}. Let ‘≃’ be the equivalence relation on A × A, cartesian product of A with itself, defined by (a, b) ≃ (c, d) iff ad = bc. Then, the number of ordered pairs of the equivalence class of (3, 2) is
