7. Given,

A= {1, 2}, B = {1,2,3,4}, C= {5,6} and D= {5,6,7,8}

(i) L.H. S = A × (B∩ C) = {1,2} [ {1,2,3,4} ∩ {5,6}]

= {1,2}× 

=  .

R.H.S = (A× B)∩ (A ×C)= [ {1,2}× {1,2,3,4}]∩ [ {1,2} {5,6}]

= [ { (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4)]∩ [ {1,5), (1,6), (2,5), (

6. Given,

A ×B = { (a, x), (a, y), (b, x), (b, y)}

We know that,

A ×B = { (p, q); p ∈ A and q ∈ B}

So, A = {a, b} and B = {x, y}.

5. Given, A = {1,1}

So, A* A = { (1,1), (1,1), (1,1), (1,1)}

A *A *A = { (1,1), (1,1), (1,1), (1,1)} * {1,1}

= { (1,1.1), (1, 1), (1, ), (1,1,1), (1,1,1), (1,1), (1,1), (1,1,1)}

The fx n is f(x)=1x , which is a f:R* → R* and R* is set of all non-zero real numbers

For, x1,x2∈R*,f(x1)=f(x2)

⇒1x1=1x2

⇒x1=x2 So, f is one-one

For, y∈R*, x=1f(x)=1y such that

So, f(x)=y

So, every element in the co-domain has a pre-image in f

So, f is onto

If f:N→R* such th

4. (i) False. Here P = {m, n}, n (p)=2

Q = {n, m}, n (Q)=2

n (P× Q) = n (P)× n (Q) = 2× 2 = 4.

So, P ×Q = { (m, n), (m, m), (n, n), (n, m)}

(ii) True.

(iii) True. { A × (B ∩ ?) = A× ? . {∴ B ∩ ? = ?  }

= n (A) ×0 {? is empty set}

= ?

The given relation in set N defined by

R= { (a, b):a=b−2, b>6}

For (2,4),        4>6 is not true

For (3,8),     8>6  but  3= 8-2 ⇒3=6 is not true

For (6,8),      8>6 and 6= 8-2 ⇒6=6 is true

And for (8,7), 7>6 but 8= 7-2 ⇒8=5 is not true

Hence, option (C) is correct

The set in A={1,2,3,4}

The relation in this set A is given by

R={(1,2),(2,2),(1,1),(4,4),(1,3),(3,3),(3,2)}

R is reflexive as (1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4)∈R

As, (1,2)∈R but (2,1)∉R

R is not symmetric

For (1,2)∈R and (2,2)∈R;(1,2)∈R

And for (1,3)∈R and (3,2)∈R;(1,3)∈R

∴ R is transitive

Hence, option (B) is correct

The given relation in the set L= all lines in XY− plane is defined as

R={(L1,L2):L1 is parallel to L2}

Let L1∈A then as L1 is parallel to L1 ,

(L1,L1)∈R

So, R is reflexive

Let L1,L2∈A and (L1,L1)∈R

Then, L1 is parallel to L2

L2 is parallel to L1

So, (L2,L1)∈R

i.e.,&

The given relation in set A of all polygons is defined as

R= {(P1,P2):P1 and P2 have same number of sides }

Let P1∈A ,

As number of sides (P1) = number of sides (P1)

(P1,P1)∈R

So, R is reflexive.

Let P1,P2∈A and (P1,P2)∈R

Then, number of sides of P1 = number of sides of P2

Number of

The given relation to set A of all triangles is defined as

R= {(T1,T2):T1 is similar to T2}

For T1∈A ,

T1 is always similar to T1

So, (T1,T1)∈R . Hence R is reflexive.

For T1,T2∈A and (T1,T2)∈R we have

T1∼T2(similar)

T2∼T1 i.e., (T2,T1)∈R

so, R is symmetric.

for, T1,T2,T3∈A and (T1,T2)∈R and (T2,T3)∈R

T1∼T2 and&
