Let S be a non-empty set and P (S) be its power set. Let any two subsets A and B of S.
It is given that: is defined as
We know that
Thus, X is the identity element for the given binary operation*.
Now, an element is invertible if there exists such that
(As X is the identity element)
i.e.
This case is possible only when
Thus, X is the only invertible element in P (X) with respect to the given operation*.
Hence, the given result is proved.

Since every set is a subset of itself, ARA for all A ∈ P (X).
∴R is reflexive.
Let ARB ⇒ A ⊂ B.
This cannot be implied to B ⊂ A.
For instance, if A = {1, 2} and B = {1, 2, 3}, then it cannot be implied that B is related to A.
∴ R is not symmetric.
Further, if ARB and BRC, then A ⊂ B and B ⊂ C.
⇒ A ⊂ C
⇒ ARC
∴ R is transitive.
Hence, R is not an equivalence relation since it is not symmetric.

Define by
And, by,
We first show that g is not onto.
For this, consider element 1 in co-domain N. it is clear that this element is not an image of any of the elements in domain.

Now, is defined by,
Then, it is clear that for , there exists such that
Hence, gof is onto.

Define as and as
We first show that g is not injective.
It can be observed that:
is not injective.
Now, is defined as
Let such that
Since , both are positive.
Hence, gof is injective

f: R → R is given as f (x) = x3.
Suppose f (x) = f (y), where x, y ∈ R.
⇒ x3 = y3 … (1)
Now, we need to show that x = y.
Suppose x ≠ y, their cubes will also not be equal.
⇒ x3 ≠ y3
However, this will be a contradiction to (1).
∴ x = y
Hence, f is injective.

It is given that is defined as
Suppose , where
Since x is positive and y is negative:
But, 2xy is negative.
Then, .
Thus, the case of x being positive and y being negative can be ruled out.
Under a similar argument, x being negative and y being positive can also be ruled out
x and y have to be either positive or negative.
When x and y are both positive, we have:
When x and y are both negative, we have:
is one-one.
Now, let such that .
If x is negative, then there exists such that
If x is positive, then there exists such that
is onto.
Hence, f is

It is given that:
is defined as
One-one:
Let,
It can be observed that if n is odd and m is even, then we will have n-1=m+1.
However, the possibility of n being even and m being odd can also be ignored under a similar argument.
Both n and m must be either odd or even.
Now, if both n and m are odd, then we have:
Again, if both n and m are even, then we have:
is one-one.
It is clear that any odd number 2r+1 in co-domain N is the image of 2r in domain N and any even 2r in co-domain N is the image of 2r+1 in domain N.
is onto.
Hence, f is an invertible function.
Let us define as:
Now, when n is odd:
And, when

One-one:
is a one-one function.
Onto:
Therefore, for any ,there exists
Such that
is onto.
Therefore, f is one-one and onto.
Thus, f is an invertible function.
Let us define as
Now, we have
Hence, the required function is defined as

On N, the operation * is defined as a * b = a3 + b3.
For, a, b, ∈ N, we have:
a * b = a3 + b3 = b3 + a3 = b * a [Addition is commutative in N]
Therefore, the operation * is commutative.
It can be observed that:
(1*2)*3 = (13+23)*3 = 9 * 3 = 93 + 33 = 729 + 27 = 756
Also, 1* (2*3) = 1* (23 +33) = 1* (8 +27) = 1 * 35
= 13 +353 = 1 + (35)3 = 1 + 42875 = 42876.
∴ (1 * 2) * 3 ≠ 1 * (2 * 3) ; where 1, 2, 3 ∈ N
Therefore, the operation * is not associative.
Hence, the operation * is commutative, but not associative. Thus, the correct answer is B.
