20. (i) Domain of the given relation = {2,5,8,11,14,17}

Since every element of the domain has one and only one image, the given relation is a fxn.

So, domain = {2,5,8,11,14,17}

range = {1}

(ii) Domain of the given relation = {2,4,6,8,10,12,14}

Since every element of the domain has one and only one image

(i) f:R→R defined as f(x)=3−4x

For x1,x2∈R such that f(x1)=f(x2)

⇒3−4x1=3−4x2⇒4x1=4x2⇒x1=x2

So, f is one-one

For y∈R , there exist

f(.3−y4)=3−4(3−y4)=3−3+y=y

Hence, f is onto

∴f is bijective

(ii) Given, f:R→R defined as f(x)=1+x2

For x1,x2∈R such that f(x1)=f(x2)

⇒1+x12=1+x22⇒x12=x22⇒x1=±x2

⇒x1=x2 or x1=−x2

∴f is not one-one

The range of f(x) is always a positive real

Given,  f:A→B and f= { (1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)}

∴f (1)=4f (2)=5f (3)=6

i.e., the image elements of A under the given fXn f are unique

So,  f is one-one

The fxn f:R? R is given by f (x)= (1ifx>00ifx=0? 1ifx<0)

For x1=1, x2=2, ? R

f (x1)=f (1)=1

f (x2)=f (2)=1 but 1? 2

So,  f is not one-one

And the range of f (x)= {1, 0, ? 1} hence it is not equal to the co-domain R

So,  f is not onto

The fxn f:R→R is given by f(x)=|x|

⇒f(x)=(x,ifx≥0−x,ifx<0)

For x1=−1 and x2=1

f(x1)=f(−1)=|−1|=1

f(x2)=f(1)=|1|=1

So, f(x1)=f(x2) but x1≠x2

i.e., f is not one-one

For x=−1∈R

f(x)=|x|

i.e., f(−1)=|−1|=1

So, range of f(x) is always a positive real number and is not equal to the co-domain R

i.e., f is not onto

The fxn f:R→R is given by f(x)=[x]

Let x1=1.5 and x2=1.2∈R Then,

f(x1)=f(1.5)=[1.5]=1

f(x2)=f(1.2)=[1.2]=1

So, f(x1)=f(x2) but x1≠x2

i.e., f(1.5)=f(1.2) but 1.5≠1.2

So, f is not one-one

The range of f(x) is a set of all integers, Z which is not a co-domain of R

∴f is not onto

(i) f:N→N given by f(x)=x2

For, x1,x2∈N , f(x1)=f(x2)

⇒x12=x22

⇒x1=x2∉N

So, f is one-one/ injective

For x∈N , i.e., x=1,2,3....

Range of f(x)={12,22,32...}={1,4,9...}≠N

i.e., co-domain of N

So, f is not onto/ subjective

(ii) f:Z→Z given by f(x)=x2

For, x1,x2∈Z , f(x1)=f(x2)

⇒x12=x22

⇒x1=±x2∉Z

i.e., x1=x2 and x1=−x2

So, f is not one-one/ injectiv

19. Given, R= { (a, b): a, b ∈ z and a – b is an integer}

We know that, the difference of two integers is also an integer.

R= { (a, b): a – b ∈ z & a, b ∈ z}

Domain of R=Z.

Range of R= Z.

18. Given, A={x, y, z}so, n(A)=3

B={1,2} so n(B)=2

? n(A × B)=n(A) ×n(B)=3 × 2=6

Hence, no. of relation from A to B=Number of subsets of A × B

=26

=64.

17. GivenR= { (x, x3) : x is a prime number less than 10}

R = { (x, x3) : x = 2,3,5,7}

= { (2,23), (3,33), (5,53), (7,73)}

= { (2,8), (3,27), (5,125), (7,343)}
