Exercise 2.1










2. If the set A has 3 elements and the set B={3,4,5} , then find the number of elements in (A×B) ?



Ans: We are provided with the fact that the set A has 3 elements and the set B is given as {3,4,5} . So, the number of elements in set B is 3 . Thus, the number of elements in (A×B) will be, = Number of elements in A× Number of elements in B =3×3=9 So, the number of elements in (A×B) is 9




3. If G={7,8} and H={5,4,2} , find G×H and H×G



Ans: We have the sets G={7,8} and H={5,4,2} . The Cartesian product of two non-empty sets A and B is defined as A×B={(a,b):a∈Aandb∈B} So, the value of G×H will be, G×H={(7,5),(7,4),(7,2),(8,5),(8,4),(8,2)} And similarly the value of H×G will be, H×G={(5,7),(5,8),(4,7),(4,8),(2,7),(2,8)}




4. State whether each of the following statement are true or false. If the statement is false, rewrite the given statement correctly.



(i) If P={m,n} and Q={n,m} , then P×Q={(m,n),(n,m)} .



Ans: The statement is False. We have the value as, P={m,n} and Q={n,m}. Thus, P×Q={(m,m),(m,n),(n,m),(n,n)}




(ii) If A and B are non-empty sets, then A×B is a non-empty set of ordered pairs (x,y) such that x∈A and y∈B.



Ans: The statement is True.




(iii) If A={1,2},B={3,4} , then A×{B∩∅}=∅ .



Ans: The statement is True. We know, B∩∅=∅ Thus, we have, A×{B∩∅}=A×∅=∅.




5. If A={−1,1} , find A×A×A .



Ans: For any non-empty set A , the set A×A×A is defined by, A×A×A={(p,q,r):p,q,r∈A} Now, we are provided with the fact that, A={−1,1} Thus, A×A×A={(−1,−1,−1),(−1,−1,1),(−1,1,−1),(−1,,1,1),(1,−1,−1),(1,−1,1),(1,1,−1),(1,1,1)}




6. If A×B={(a,x),(a,y),(b,,x),(b,y)} . Find A and B .



Ans: We are provided with the fact that A×B={(a,x),(a,y),(b,x),(b,y)} On the other hand, the Cartesian product of two non-empty sets A and B is defined as A×B={(a,b):a∈Aandb∈B} As we can see, A is the set of all the first elements and B is the set of all the second elements. So, we will have, A={a,b} and B={x,y} .




7. Let A={1,2},B={1,2,3,4},C={5,6} and D={5,6,7,8} . Verify that



(i) A×(B∩C)=(A×B)∩(A×C)



Ans: We are provided with 3 sets and we have to prove A×(B∩C)=(A×B)∩(A×C) To start with, we will have, B∩C=∅ , as there are no elements in common between these sets. Thus, we have, A×(B∩C)=A×∅=∅ For the right hand side, we have, A×B={(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4)} And similarly, A×C={(1,5),(1,6),(2,5),(2,6)} Again, we can see there are no elements in common between these sets. So, we have, (A×B)∩(A×C)=∅ So, we get, L.H.S = R.H.S.




(ii) A×C is a subset of B×D



Ans: Again, we are to verify, A×C is a subset of B×D So, we have, A×C={(1,5),(1,6),(2,5),(2,6)} And similarly, B×D={(1,5),(1,6),(1,7),(1,8),(2,5),(2,6),(2,7),(2,8),(3,5),(3,6),(3,7),(3,8),(4,5),(4,6),(4,7),(4,8)} We can easily see, every element of A×C is an element of B×D . So, A×C is a subset of B×D .




8. Let A={1,2} and B={3,4} . Write A×B . How many subsets will A×B have? List them.



Ans: We are provided with the fact that A={1,2} and B={3,4} Thus, we have, A×B={(1,3),(1,4),(2,3),(2,4)} So, the set A×B has 4 elements. Now, this is also known to us that, if a set A has n elements, then the number of subsets of Ais 2n . We can thus conclude that, A×Bwill have 24=16 subsets. Now, noting down the subsets of A×B we get, ∅,{(1,3)},{(1,4)},{(2,3)},{(2,4)},{(1,3),(1,4)}, {(1,3),(2,3)},{(1,3),(2,4)}, {(1,4),(2,3)},{(1,4),(2,4)},{(2,3),(2,4)}, {(1,3),(1,4),(2,3)},{(1,3),(1,4),(2,4)}, {(1,3),(2,3),(2,4)},{(1,4),(2,3),(2,4)}, {(1,3),(1,4),(2,3),(2,4)}




9. Let A and B be two sets such that n(A)=3 and n(B)=2 . If (x,1),(y,2),(z,1) are in A×B , find A and B , where x,y and z are distinct elements.



Ans: We are provided with the fact that n(A)=3 and n(B)=2 ; and(x,1),(y,2),(z,1) are in A×B . We also know that, A is the set of all the first elements and B is the set of all the second elements. So, we can conclude, A having elements x,y,z and B having elements 1,2 . Thus, we get, n(A)=3,n(B)=2. So, A={x,y,z},B={1,2}




10. The Cartesian product A×A has 9 elements among which are found (−1,0) and (0,1) . Find the set A and the remaining elements of A×A .



Ans: We are provided with, n(A×A)=9 . We also know that, if n(A)=a,n(B)=b , then n(A×B)=ab As it is given that, n(A×A)=9 It can be written as, n(A)×n(A)=9 ⇒n(A)=3 And it is also given that (−1,0),(0,1) are the two elements of A×A . Again, the fact is also known that, A×A={(a,a):a∈A} . And also −1,0,1 are the elements of A . Also, n(A)=3 , implies A={−1,0,1} . So, (−1,−1),(−1,1),(0,−1),(0,0),(1,−1),(1,0),(1,1) are the remaining elements of A×A .




Exercise 2.2




1. Let A={1,2,3,......,14} . Define a relation R from A to A by R={(x,y):3x−y=0} , where x,y∈A . Write down its domain, codomain and range.



Ans: We are given with the relation R from A to A as, R={(x,y):3x−y=0} where x,y∈A . So, we can write R as, R={(1,3),(2,6),(3,9),(4,12)} . Thus, the domain of R is, {1,2,3,4} . And similarly, the range of R is, {3,6,9,12} . And also, the codomain of R is, A={1,2,3,......,14} .




2. Define a relation R on the set N of natural numbers by R=(x,y) : y=x+5x is a natural number less than 4; x,y in N . Depict this relationship using roster form. Write down the domain and the range.



Ans: We are given with the fact that, R=(x,y): y=x+5,x is a natural number less than 4; x,y in N. We have the value of x as 1,2,3 are it must be less than 4. So, the relation R will look like, R={(1,6),(2,7),(3,8)} The domain of R will be, ={1,2,3} And similarly, the range of R will be, ={6,7,8} .




3. A={1,2,3,5} and B={4,6,9} . Define a relation R from A to B by R=(x,y):the difference between x and y is odd; x in A,y in B . Write R in roster form.

(ii) In roster form

What is its domain and range?



Ans: From the given figure in the problem, we have, P={5,6,7},Q={3,4,5} And again, in roster form, (ii)R={(5,3),(6,4),(7,5)} Where the domain of R is{5,6,7} and range of R is{3,4,5} .




5. Let A={ 1,2,3,4,6 } . Let R be the relation on A defined by (a,b):a,b in A,b is exactly divisible by a .

(i) Write R in roster form.



Ans: We are provided with the fact that,$A=\{1,2,3,4,6\},R=(a,b):a,b in A,b is exactly divisible by a Using the conditions given in the problem, we get, R={(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,6),(2,2), (2,4),(2,6),(3,3),(3,6),(4,4),(6,6)} And this is the roster form of the relation.




(ii) Find the domain of R

Ans: We are provided with the fact, R={(x,x+5):x∈{0,1,2,3,4,5}} Using the condition given, We can clearly write that, R={(0,5),(1,6),(2,7),(3,8),(4,9),(5,10)} And this is our needed relation. Now, it can be clearly observed, that the domain of R is, {(x:x∈(0,1,2,3,4,5)}. And similarly, the range of R is, {(y:y∈(5,6,7,8,9,10)}.




7. Write the relationR=(x,x3): x is a prime number less than 10 in roster form.



Ans: We are provided with the fact that, R={(x,x3):xisaprimenumberlessthan10} . We know, the prime numbers less than 10 are 2,3,5,7 . Thus, the relation can be written as, R={(2,8),(3,27),(5,125),(7,343)}




8. Let A={x,y,z} and B={1,2} . Find the number of relations from A to B .



Ans: The facts provided to us are, A={x,y,z} and B={1,2} . Now, we will try to find out the Cartesian product of these to sets, A×B={(x,1),(x,2),(y,1),(y,2),(z,1),(z,2)} Thus, we see, the number of elements in A×B is 6 . So, the number of subsets, 26 .

Ans: We have the given relation as, {(2,1),(5,1),(8,1),(11,1),(14,1),(17,1)} . Thus, we can see, the domain of the relation consists of {2,5,8,11,14,17} and range is {1} . And we also have, every element of the domain is having their unique images, then it is a function.




(ii) {(2,1),(4,2),(6,3),(8,4),(10,5),(12,6),(14,7)}



Ans: We have our given relation, {(2,1),(4,2),(6,3),(8,4),(10,5),(12,6),(14,7)}. Thus, we have our domain as, {2,4,6,8,10,12,14} and range as, {1,2,3,4,5,6,7} . Every element of the domain is having their unique images, so this is a function.




(iii) {(1,3),(1,5),(2,5)}



Ans: Our given relation is, {(1,3),(1,5),(2,5)}. From the domain of the relation the element 1 is having two different images 3,5 . So,every element of the domain is not having their unique images. So, this is not a function.




2. Find the domain and range of the following real function:



(i)f(x)=−|x|





As the function is a real function, the domain of the function is R . And again, we can see that the function is giving values of all real numbers except positive ones. So, the range of the function is, (−∞,0] .
