Q. 1 Differentiate between equal and equivalent sets with an (1) CO1
example.
Q. 2 Let A ={w, x, y, z}, B ={x, y, z}, C={x,y} and D={y,z} (1) CO1
R is a relation from A to B
R = {(w,y),(x,x),(x,y),(y,z)}
S is a relation from C to D.
S = {(x,y),(y,z)}
Find Rc, R ∪ S, R ∩ S and R – S.
(Complement, Union, Intersection and Difference
respectively)
Q. 3 Apply matrix method to find Transitive closure. (1) CO1
A = {4, 6, 8, 10}
R = {(4, 4),(4, 10),(6, 6),(6, 8),(8, 10)}
Q. 4 Explain Equivalence relation with a suitable example. (1) CO1
Q. 5 Consider f,g,h on all functions on integers. (1) CO1

Find a) hofog b) gofoh c) fogoh
Q. 6 Let A = {2, 3, 4} B = {3, 4, 5} . List the elements of (1) CO1
each relation R defined below and the domain and range.
a) a ∈ A is related to b ∈ B, that is aRb if and only if a <
b.
b) a ∈ A is related to b ∈ B , that is aRb if a and b are
both odd numbers.

at a university can be scheduled. If there are 677 different
classes, what is the minimum number of
different rooms that will be needed?
Q. 9 Using the principle of mathematical induction, prove that (1) CO1
72n + 23n-3. 3n-1 is divisible by 25 for all n ∈ N.
Q. 10 Find the solution of given recurrence relation, (1) CO1
