35. Given, f={(ab, a+b): a, b ∈ z}

Let a=1 and b=1;                   a, b ∈ z.

So, ab=1 × 1=1

a+b=1+1=2.

So, we have the order pair (1,2).

Now, let a= –1 and b= –1; a, b ∈ z

So, ab=(–1) × (–1)=1

a+b=(–1)+(–1)= –2

So, the ordered pair is (1,

34. Given,

A={1,2,3,4}

B={1,5,9,11,15,16}

f={(1,5),(2,9),(3,1),(4,5),(2,11)}.

(i) As every element of f is an element of A × B

We can clearly say that f ⊂ A × B.

?f is a relation from A to B.

(ii) As the element 2 of the domain has two image i.e., 9 and 11. f is not a function.

33. Given, R= { (a, b): a, b ∈ N and a = b2}

(i) Let a = 2 ∈ N

Then b = 22 = 4 ∈ N

but a ≠ b.

Hence the given statement is not true.

(ii) For a=b2 the inverse b=a2 may not hold true

Example (4,2) ∈ R, a=4, b=2 and a=b2

but (2,4) ∉ R.

Hence, the given statement is not true.

(iii) I

32. Given, f(x) = (ax + b)

= {(1,1),(2,3),(0, – 1),(–1, –3)} .

As (1,1) ∈ f.

Then, f(1)=1   [? f(x) = y for (x, y)]

a × 1+b=1

a+b=1…… (1)

and (0, – 1) ∈ f .

Then, f(0)= –1

a× 0+b= –1

b= –1…….(2)

Putting value of (2) in (1) we gets

a – 1=1

a=1+1

a=2

So, (a, b)=(2, –1)
