Q6 of 109 Page 1

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

According to the question:

R={(a,a), (b,b), (c,c), (a,b), (b,c), (a,c)}


Thus R = {(b, c)} can only be transitive.


i.e (a,b)∈ R and (b,c)∈ R → (a,c)∈ R

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

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

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

Let A = {1, 2, 3}. Then, the number of relations containing (1, 2) and (1, 3) which are reflexive and symmetric but not transitive is
