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: P (X)xP (X)P (X) is defined as A.B=ABA, BP (X)

We know that AX=A=XAAP (X)

A.X=A=X.AAP (X)

Thus, X is the identity element for the given binary operation*.

Now, an element is  AP (X) invertible if there exists BP (X) such that

A*B=X=B*A  (As X is the identity element)

i.e.

AB=X=BA

This case is possible only when A=X=B.

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 f:ΝΝ by

f (x)=x+1

And,  g:ΝΝ by,

g (x) {x1if, x>11f, x=1}

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.

f is not onto.

Now,  gof:ΝΝ is defined by,

gof (x)=g (f (x))=g (x+1)= (x+1)1 [x, inΝ=> (x+1)>1]=x

Then, it is clear that for yΝ , there exists x=yΝ such that gof (x)=gof (y)

Hence, gof is onto.

Define f:NZ as f(x) and g:ZZ as g(x)=|x|

We first show that g is not injective.

It can be observed that:

g(1)=|1|=1g(1)=|1|=1g(1)=g(1),but,11

g is not injective.

Now, gof:NZ is defined as

gof(x)=y(f(x))=y(x)=|x|

Let x,yN such that gof(x)gof(y)

|x|=|y|

Since x,yN , both are positive.

|x|=|y|x=y

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 f:R{xR:1<x<1} is defined as f(x)=x1+|x|,xR.

Suppose f(x)=f(y) , where x,yR.

x1+x=y1y2xy=xy

Since x is positive and y is negative:

x>yxy>0

But, 2xy is negative.

Then, 2xyxy .

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:

f(x)=f(y)x1+x=y1+yx+xy=y+xyx=y

When x and y are both negative, we have:

f(x)=f(y)x1x=y1yxxy=yyxx=y

f is one-one.

Now, let yR such that 1<y<1 .

If x is negative, then there exists x=y1+yR such that

f(x)=f(y1+y)=(y1+y)1+y1+y=y1+y1+y1+y=y1+yy=y

If x is positive, then there exists x=y1yR such that

f(x)=f(y1y)=(y1y)1+(y1y)=y1y1+y1y=y1y+y=y

f is onto.

Hence, f is

It is given that f:RR is defined as f (x)=x23x+2.

f (f (x))=f (x23x+2)= (x2+3x+2)23 (x23x+2)+2=x4+9x2+46x212x+4x23x2+9x6+2=x46x2+10x23x

It is given that:

f:WW is defined as f(n)={n1,if.n,oddn+1,if.n,even

One-one:

Let, f(n)=f(m).

It can be observed that if n is odd and m is even, then we will have n-1=m+1.

nm=2

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:

f(n)=f(m)n1=m1n=m

Again, if both n and m are even, then we have:

f(n)=f(m)n+1=m+1n=m

f 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.

f is onto.

Hence, f is an invertible function.

Let us define g:WW as:

g(m)={m+1,if.n,evenm1,if.n,odd

Now, when n is odd:

gof(n)=g(f(n))=g(n1)=n1+1=n

And, when

It is given that f:RR is defined as f(x)=10x+7.

One-one:

Let,f(x)=f(y),where,x,yR10x+7=10y+7x=y

f is a one-one function.

Onto:

For,yR,let,y=10x+7x=y710R

Therefore, for any yR ,there exists x=y710R

Such that

f(x)=f(y710)=10(y710)+7=y7+7=y

f is onto.

Therefore, f is one-one and onto.

Thus, f is an invertible function.

Let us define g:RR as g(y)=y710

Now, we have

gof(x)=g(f(x))=g(10x+7)=(10x+7)710=10x10=10Andfog(y)=f(g(y))=f(y710)=10(y710)+7=y7+7=y

Hence, the required function g:RR is defined as g(y)=y710

On N, the operation * is defined as a * b = a3 + b3.

For, a, b, ∈ N, we have:

a * b =  a3 + b3 = b3 + a = 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* (2+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.
