A) 0 B) 1 C) 2 D) 3 (I I ) R is transitive
Solution : (Correct Answer: D) Then which one of the following is true?
A = {1, 2, 3}
A) Only (I I ) is correct.
For Reflexive (1, 1)(2, 2), (3, 3) ∈ R B) Only (I ) is correct.
C) Both (I ) and (I I ) are correct.
For transitive : (1, 2) and (2, 3) ∈ R ⇒ (1, 3) ∈ R D) Neither (I ) nor (I I ) is correct.
Not symmetric : (2, 1) and (3, 2) ∉ R Solution : (Correct Answer: B)
All ((x 1 y1 ) , (x1 , y1 )) are in R where
R1 = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1, 2), (2, 3), (1, 3)}
x1 , y1 ∈ N ∴ R is reflexive

For transitive, Solution : (Correct Answer: A)

If A = {(1, 2), (2, 3)} Given set {1, 2, 3, 4}

B = {(2, 3), (3, 4)}

R = {(3, 2), (6, 4), (9, 6), (12, 8), … … … . (99, 66)} Solution : (Correct Answer: D)
For R to be reflexive ⇒ xRx
n(R) = 33

⇒ 3x + αx = 7x ⇒ (3 + α)x = 7K
∴ 66

⇒ 3 + α = 7λ ⇒ α = 7λ − 3 = 7N + 4, K, λ, N ∈ I

∴ when α divided by 7, remainder is 4.

 R to be symmetric xRy ⇒ yRx 66. Let R be the relation on the set R of all real

numbers defined by a R b if |a − b| ≤ 1. Then R
is
⇒ (3 + α)(x + y) = 7 (N1 + N2 ) = 7N3
A) Reflexive and B) Symmetric only
Which holds when 3 + α is multiple of 7 Symmetric
∴ α = 7N + 4 (as did earlier)
C) Transitive only D) Anti-symmetric
only
R to be transitive Solution : (Correct Answer: A)
xRy&yRz ⇒ xRz . (a) |a − a| = 0 < 1

3x + αy = 7N1 &3y + αz = 7N2

∴ R is reflexive.

3x + αz = 7N3
Again a R b ⇒
|a − b| ≤ 1 ⇒ |b − a| ≤ 1 ⇒ bRa
∴ 3x + 7N2 − 3y = 7N3

∴ R is symmetric, Again 1R and 1

∴ 7N1 − αy + 7N2 − 3y = 7N3

∴ R is not anti-symmetric.
∴ 7 (N1 + N2 ) − (3 + α)y = 7N3

Further, 1 R 2 and 2 R 3 but 1 R 3, [

∴ (3 + α)y = 7 N
∵ |1 − 3| = 2 > 1]

Which is true again when 3 + α divisible by 7 when

∴ R is not transitive.
α divided by 7, remainder is 4 .

Clearly f (x) is defined, if 4 + x ≥ 0 ==> x ≥ −4

4 − x ≥ 0 ==> x ≤ 4
x(1 − x) ≥ 0 ==> x ≥ 0 and x ≤ 1
