1. Let 𝑅 be the relation in the set 𝑍 of integers given by 𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑏): 2 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑠 𝑎 − 𝑏}. Show that
the relation R is transitive? Write the equivalence class [0].
2. A relation R on set 𝐴 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} is defined as 𝑅 = {(𝑥, 𝑦): |𝑥 2 − 𝑦 2 | < 8. Check whether
the relation R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
3. Check whether the relation R in the set N of natural numbers given by 𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑏): 𝑎 is a
divisor of 𝑏} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive. Also determine whether R is an equivalence
relation.
4. Assertion(A) : The relation 𝑅 = {(𝑥, 𝑦): (𝑥 + 𝑦) is a prime number and 𝑥, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑁} is not
reflexive relation.
Reason (R): The number "2𝑛" is a composite for all natural numbers 𝑛.
5. A relation R is defined on 𝑁 × 𝑁 (where 𝑁 is the set of Natural numbers) as
𝒂 𝒃
(𝒂, 𝒃)𝑹 (𝒄, 𝒅) ⟺ = . Show that R is equivalence relation.
𝒄 𝒅
6. Check whether the relation S in the set of real numbers R defined by
𝑺 = {(𝒂, 𝒃): 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂 − 𝒃 + √𝟐 is an irrational number} is reflexive, symmetric or
transitive.
7. A relation R is defined on N × N (where N is the set of natural numbers) as:
(𝒂, 𝒃)𝑹 (𝒄, 𝒅) ⟺ 𝒂 − 𝒄 = 𝒃 − 𝒅
Show that R is an equivalence relation.
8. Let 𝑨 = {𝒙 ∈ 𝒁 ∶ 𝟎 ≤ 𝒙 ≤ 𝟏𝟐}. Show that 𝑹 = {(𝒂, 𝒃): 𝒂, 𝒃 ∈ 𝑨, |𝒂 − 𝒃| is divisible by 4} is
an equivalence relation. Find the set of all elements related to 1. Also write the equivalence
class [2].
9. A function 𝒇: 𝑨 → 𝑩 defined as 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝟐𝒙 is both one – one and onto. If 𝑨 = {𝟏, 𝟐, 𝟑, 𝟒}, then
find the set B.
10. A function 𝑓 is defined from R → R as 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒂𝒙 + 𝒃, such that 𝒇(𝟏) = 𝟏 and 𝒇(𝟐) = 𝟑. Find
the function 𝑓(𝑥). Hence, check whether function 𝑓 (𝑥) is one-one and onto or not.
11. Prove that a function 𝒇: [𝟎, ∞) → [−𝟓, ∞ ) defined as 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝟒𝒙𝟐 + 𝟒𝒙 − 𝟓 is both one-one
and onto.
𝟐𝒙
12. Show that a function 𝒇: 𝑹 → 𝑹 defined by 𝒇(𝒙) = is neither one-one nor onto. Further,
𝟏+𝒙𝟐
find set A so that given function 𝒇: 𝑹 → 𝑨 becomes an onto function.
𝟓𝒙−𝟑
13. Show that a function 𝒇: 𝑹 → 𝑹 defined as 𝒇(𝒙) = is both one-one and onto.
𝟒
14. A function 𝒇: [−𝟒, 𝟒] → [𝟎, 𝟒] is given by 𝒇(𝒙) = √𝟏𝟔 − 𝒙𝟐 . Show that 𝑓 is onto function but
not one to one function. Further, find all possible values of "𝑎" for which 𝒇(𝒂) = √𝟕
𝟒 𝟒𝒙
15. Let 𝒇: 𝑹 − {− } → 𝑹 be a function defined as 𝒇(𝒙) = . Show that 𝑓 is one to one
𝟑 𝟑𝒙+𝟒
function. Also check whether 𝑓 is onto function or not.
