Give an example of a relation which is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive ?

योग

उत्तर

Let A = {4, 6, 8}

Let the relation R defined on a set A be as follows:.

R = {(4, 4), (6, 6), (8, 8), (4, 6), (6, 4), (6, 8), (8, 6)}

⇒ The relation R is reflexive because for every element a ∈ A, (a, a) ∈ R, i.e., (4, 4), (6, 6), (8, 8) ∈ R.

∴ R is Reflexive

⇒ The relation R is symmetric, because (a, b) ∈ R

(b, a) ∈ R, for all a, b ∈ R.

∴ R is symmetric

⇒ The relation R is not transitive, because (4, 6), (6, 8) ∈ R, but (4, 8) ∉ R.

∴ R is not transitive

Thus, R is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive.

An organization conducted bike race under two different categories – Boys and Girls. There were 28 participants in all. Among all of them, finally three from category 1 and two from category 2 were selected for the final race. Ravi forms two sets B and G with these participants for his college project.
Let B = {b1, b2, b3} and G = {g1, g2}, where B represents the set of Boys selected and G the set of Girls selected for the final race.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

  1. How many relations are possible from B to G? (1)
  2. Among all the possible relations from B to G, how many functions can be formed from B to G? (1)
