Choose the correct answer from the given four options in questions (1 to 32) :

Question 1.
If A = {- 1, 2, 5, 8}, B = {0, 1, 3, 6, 7} and R be the relation “is one less than” from to B, then k as a set of ordered pairs is
(a) ((- 1, 0), (2, 3), (5, 6)}
(b) {(- 1, 0), (2. 1), (8, 7)}
(c) {(0, 1), (2. 3), (6, 7)}
(d) {(1, 2), (2, 3), (5, 6), (6, 7), (7, 8)}
Answer:
(a) ((- 1, 0), (2, 3), (5, 6)}

Given A = {- 1, 2, 5, 8}
and B = {0, 1, 3, 6, 7}
(a, b) ∈ R a is one less than b ∀ a ∈ A, b ∈ B
Since 0 – 1 = – 1
∴ (- 1, 0) ∈ R
[∵ a – b = – 1]
2 – 3 = – 1
∴ (2, 3) ∈ R
5 – 6 = – 1
∴ (5, 6) ∈ R
∴ R = {(- 1, 0), (2. 3), (5, 6)}

Question 2.
If R = {(x, y) : x, y ∈ 2x + y = 8}, then domain of R is
(a) {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
(b) {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
(c) {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}
(d) {0, 1, 2, 3}
Answer:
(c) {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}

Given 2x + y = 8 ∀ x, y ∈ W
⇒ y = 8 – 2x
when x = 1
∴ y = 8 – 2 = 6 ∈ W
∴ (1, 6)R
when x = 2
∴ y = 8 – 4 = 4 ∈ W
∴ (2, 4) ∈ W
when x = 0
∴ y = 8 – 0 = 8 ∈ W
∴ (0, 8) ∈ W
when x = 3
∴ y = 8 – 6 = 2 ∈ W
∴ (3, 2) ∈ W
when x = 4
∴ y = 8 – 8 = 0 ∈ W
∴ (4, 0) ∈ W
For other values of x, y ∉ W
∴ DR = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4)

Question 3.
If R = {(x, y) : x, y ∈ N, x + 2y = 21}, then domain of R is
(a) {1, 2, 3, ………… 7, 8}
(b) {1, 2, 3, …………. 9, 10}
(c) {1, 3, 5, 7 ………….. 19}
(d) {1, 3, 5, 7, ………….. 15}
Answer:
(b) {1, 2, 3, …………. 9, 10}

Given x + 2y = 21
⇒ y = \(\frac{21-x}{2}\), x, y ∈ N
when x = 1
∴ y = \(\frac{21-1}{2}\) = 10 ∈ N
∴ (1, 10) ∈ R
when x = 2
∴ y = \(\frac{21-2}{2}=\frac{19}{2}\) ∉ N
∴ (2, \(\frac{19}{2}\)) ∉ R
when x = 3
∴ y – \(\frac{18}{2}\) = R
∴ (3, 9) ∈ R
when x = 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20,
∴ y ∉ N
when x = 5, 7, 9, 11,13,15,17,19
∴ y = 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Thus (5, 8), (7, 7), (9, 6) (11, 5), (13, 4), (15, 3), (17, 2), (19, 1) ∈ R
For other values of x ∈ N, we does not get y ∈ N.
∴ R = {(1, 10), (3, 9), (5, 8), (7, 7), (9, 6), (11, 5), (13, 4), (15, 3), (17, 2), (19, 1)}
∴ Range of R = {1, 2, 1, ……………….. 9, 10}

Question 4.
Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} and R be the relation defined on A by R = {(x, y) : x, y ∈ A, x divides y}, then range of R is
(a) {2, 3, 4 5, 6}
(b) {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
(c) {2, 4, 6}
(d) {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Answer:
(d) {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Given R = ((x, y) : x, y ∈ A, x divides y)
Since 1/1, 1/2, ¡13, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6
∴ (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1,6) ∈ R
2/2, 2/4, 2/16
∴ (2, 2) (2, 4), (2, 6) ∈ R
3/3, 3/6
∴ (3, 3), (3, 6) ∈ R
4/4, 5/5, 6/6
∴ (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6) ∈ R
∴ Range of R = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

Question 5.
Let A = (3, 5) and B = (7, 11) and R be the relation from A to B defined as R = {(a, b) : a ∈ A,b ∈ B, a – b is odd}, then
(a) R = A × B
(b) R = Φ
(c) R ⊂ A × B
(d) R ⊂ B × A
Answer:
(b) R = Φ

Given A = {3, 5}
and B = {7, 11}
and R = {(a, b) : a ∈ A, b ∈B, a- b is odd}
Since difference of two odd integers is always an even integer.
Here a and b both are odd.
∴ a – b is always even.
∴ R = Φ

Question 6.
Given R = {(x, y) : x, y ∈ Z, y = x – 3}, then which ordered pair belongs to R}
(a) (1, 4)
(b) (0, 3)

(c) {0, 1, 2, 3, 13}
(d) {0, ± 1, ± 2, …………….. ± 3}
Answer:
(a) {0, 5, 12, 13}

Given x2 + y2 = 169, x, y ∈ W
y = ± \(\sqrt{169-x^2}\) but y ∈ W
y = \(\sqrt{169-x^2}\)
when x = 0 ; y = 13
and when x = 5
∴ y = \(\sqrt{169-25}\) = 12
when x = 1, 2,3, 4. 6, 7, 8. 9, 10, 11 we have y ∉ W
when x =12 ;
y = \(\sqrt{169-144}\)
when x = 13 ; y = 0
For other values of x ∈ W, we have y ∉ W
∴ R = {(0, 13), (5, 12), (12, 5), (13, 0)}
∴ DR = {0, 5, 12, 13}.

Question 8.
If A = {a, b} and B = {x, y, z}, then the number of relations from B to A is
(a) 8
(b) 16
(c) 32
(d) 64
Answer:
(d) 64

A = {a, b}
∴ n (A) = 2
and B = {x, y, z}
∴ n (B) = 3
∴ No. of relations from B to A = 2n (A × B)
= 2n (A) n (B)
= 22 × 3 = 64

ML Aggarwal Class 11 Maths Solutions Section A Chapter 2 Relations and Functions MCQs

(a) mn
(b) nm – 1
(c) 2mn – 1
(d) 2mn
Solution:
(c) 2mn – 1

Since relation is a subset of A × B
∴ No. of non-empty relations from A to B = 2n (A × B)
= 2n(A) × n (B) = 2 mmn – 1
[Since Φ ⊆ A x ß ∴ Φ is also a relation]

Question 10.
Let A be a finite set containing n elements, then (he number of relations on A is
(a) 2n
(b) 2n2
(c) n2
(d) nn
Solution:
(b) 2n2

Given A be a finite set containing n element.
Then relation on A is a subset of A × A.
∴ No. of relations on A = 2n (A × A)
= 2n (A) × n (A)
= 2n2

(c) ((2, 4), (5, 3), (4, 6)}
(ð) ((4, 2), (3, 5), (4, 6)}
Solution:
(a) {(2, 4), (3, 5), (4, 6)}

Given A = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
and R = {(x, y) : y = x + 2, x, y ∈ A}
When x = 2
∴ y = 2 + 2 = 4
∴ (2, 4) ∈ R
When x = 3
∴ y = 3 + 2 = 5
∴ (3, 5) ∈ R
When x = 4
∴ y = 4 + 2 = 6
∴ (4, 6) ∈ R
Thus, R = {(2, 4), (3, 5), (4, 6)}

Given f (x) = \(\frac{1}{4-x^2}\) + log10 (x2 – x)
f (x) = g (x) + h (x)
where g (x) = \(\frac{1}{4-x^2}\)
and h (x) = log10 (x2 – x)
For Dg : g (x) must be a real number.
⇒ \(\frac{1}{4-x^2}\) must be a real number.
⇒ 4 – x2 ≠ 0
⇒ x ≠ ± 2
∴ Dg = R – {- 2, 2}

⇒ log10 (x2 – x) must be a real numbcr.
⇒ x2 – x > 0
⇒ x (x – 1) > 0
⇒ x > 1 or x < 0
[∵ if a > b, (x – a) (x – b) > 0
⇒ x > a or x < b]

Question 29.
If f (x) = px + q, where p and q are integers f (- 1) = 1 and f (2) = 13, then p and q are
(a) p = 4, q = 5
(b) p = – 4, q = 5
(c) p = – 4, q = – 5
(d) p = 4, q = – 5
Answer:
(a) p = 4, q = 5

Given f (x) = p x + q ……………..(1)
f (- 1) = 1
∴ from (1) ;
1 = – p + q ……………(2)
f (2) = 13
∴ from (1) ;
13 = 2p + q
eqn. (3) – eqn. (2) ; we have
12 = 3p
⇒ p = 4
∴ from (2) ;
q = 5.

Question 30.
Let f (x) = \(\), then
(a) f (xy) = f (x) f (y)
(b) f (xy) ≥ f (x) f (y)
(c) f (xy) = f (x) . f (y)
(d) None of these
Solution:
(c) f (xy) = f (x) . f (y)

Given f (x) = \(\sqrt{1+x^2}\)
∴ f (xy) = \(\sqrt{1+x^2 y^2}\)
and f (y) = \(\sqrt{1+y^2}\)
Since (1 + x2) (1 + y2) = 1 + x2 + y2 + x2y2 ≥ 1 + x2y2
⇒ \(\sqrt{\left(1+x^2\right)\left(1+y^2\right)} \geq \sqrt{1+x^2 y^2}\)
⇒ f (x) f (y) ≥ f (xy)

Question 31.
The domain for which the functions defined by f(x) = 6x2 + 1 and g (x) = 11 – 7x are equal is
(a) {- 1, \(\frac{2}{3}\)}
(b) {3, \(\frac{5}{6}\)}
(c) {- 2, \(\frac{5}{6}\)}
(d) {2, \(\frac{2}{3}\)}
Answer:
(c) {- 2, \(\frac{5}{6}\)}

f (x) = g (x)
⇒ 6x2 + 1 = 11 – 7x
⇒ 6x2 + 7x – 10 = 0
⇒ (x + 2) (6x – 5) = 0
⇒ x = – 2, \(\frac{5}{6}\)
∴ Df = Dg = {- 2, \(\frac{5}{6}\)}

Question 32.
If f (x) – 3 f(\(\frac{1}{x}\)) = 2x + 3 (x ≠ 0) then f (3) is equal to
(a) – \(\frac{3}{2}\)
(b) – \(\frac{5}{2}\)
(c) \(\frac{7}{2}\)
(d) – 1
Answer:
(b) – \(\frac{5}{2}\)

Given f (x) – 3 f (\(\frac{1}{x}\)) = 2x + 3 ……………(1)
Changing x to \(\frac{1}{x}\) in eqn. (1) ; we have
f (\(\frac{1}{x}\)) – 3 f (x) = 2 × \(\frac{1}{x}\) + 3 …………….(2)
eqn. (1) + 3 eqn. (2) ; we have
– 8 f (x) = 2x + 3 + 3 (\(\frac{2}{x}\) + 3)
⇒ – 8 f (x) = 2x + \(\frac{6}{x}\) + 12
⇒ – 8 f (3) = 2 × 3 + \(\frac{6}{3}\) + 12 = 20
⇒ f (3) = \(-\frac{20}{8}=-\frac{5}{2}\)
