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.

62. 

The given eqn of the lines are

 y - x = 0 _____ (1)

x + y = 0 ______ (2)

x - k = 0 ______ (3)

The point of intersection of (1) and (2) is given by

(y - x) - (x + y) = 0

⇒ y - x -x -y = 0

y = 0 and x = 0

ie, (0, 0)

The point of intersection of (2) and (3) is given by

(x + y) – (x – k) = 0

y + k = 0

y = –k and x = k

i.e, (k, –k)

The point of intersection of (3) and (1) is given by

x = k

and y = k

ie, (k, k).

Hence area of triangle whose vertex are (0, 0), (k, –k)

and (k, k) is

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.

27. Given, f (x)= x 2 + 2 x + 1 x 2 8 x + 1 2

The given function is valid if denominator is not zero.

So, if x2 – 8x+12=0.

x2 – 2x – 6x+12=0

x (x – 2) –6 (x – 2)=0

⇒ (x – 2) (x – 6)=0

x=2 and x=6.

So,  f (x) will be valid for all real number x except x=2,6.

∴ Domain of f (x)=R – {2,6}

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

61. The given Eqn of the line is x4+y6 = 1 ______ (1)

so, Slope of line = -64=32.

The line ⊥ to line (1) say l2 has

Slope of l2 = 1 (3/2)=23.

Let P (0, y) be the point of on y-axis where it is cut by the line (1)

Then,  04+y6=1

y = 6

i.e, the point P has co-ordinate (0, 6)

Eqn of line ⊥ to x4+y6=1 and cuts y-axis at P (0,6) is

y – 6 = 23 (x – 0)

3y – 18 = 2x

2x – 3y + 18 = 0

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
