Question
Q1.
If two sets A and B are having 21 element in common, then the number of elements common to each of the sets A x B and B x A is .
(a) 2
(b) (21)2
(c) 21
(d) 14
Solution. b
Note : If m elements are common in A and B . then m2 elements will be common in (A x B) and (B x A) .
Solution
Q2.
If S1 = {1,2,3,4,-------,20}, S2 = {x,y,z,a}, S3 = {x,y,w,b} . The number of elements of
(S1 x S2)U(S1 x S3) is
(a) 120
(b) 100
(c) 80
(d) 160
Solution.a
n(S1 x S2) = 80 , n(S1 x S3) = 80, but two elements are common in S2 and
S3 , So (S1 x S2) and (S1 x S3) has 40 common elements .
= 80 + 80 - 40
= 120
Solution
Q3.
If n(A) = 5 , n(B) = 7 and n(A ∩ B) = 2 , find n[(A x B)∩ (B x A)] =
(a) 4
(b) 3
(c)2
(d) 1
Solution. a
n(A x B) = 35 , n(B x A) = 35 , 2 elements are common so 22 elements are common in (A x B) and (B x A) ,
that is why n[
(A x B)∩ (B x A)] = 4
Solution
Q4.
If A has m and B has n elements then total number of relations from A to B will be
(a) 2
(b) 2mn
(c) mn
(d) m + n
Solution.b
2mn
Solution
Q5.
A Relation R is defined in the set of integers I as follows (x,y)∑ R if x2 + y2 = 4 , find its Domain .
(a) {-1,0,1}
(b) {0,1}
(c) {-2,0}
(d) {-2,0,2}
Solution.d
clearly x2 + y2 = 4
x = √(4 - y2)
R = {(0,2)(0,-2)(2,0)(-2,0)}
So Domain is = {-2,0,2}
Solution
