CHAPTER: - 1 RELATION AND FUNCTION (4-6 Marks)

Introduction of Relation:
Def :- A subset of Cartesian Product
Type of Relations:
(I) Universal Relation.
(II) Equivalence Relation.
(III) Empty Relation.
E.g. ⟹𝑅 ⊆𝐴×𝐵
⟹ 𝑅 ⊆: {(𝑎, 𝑏): 𝑎 ∈ 𝐴, 𝑏 ∈ 𝐵}
Applications: Relation and functions generally tells us about the different operations performed
on the sets.
Concept 1: Relation and it’s types.
2 −𝑛
 formula’s used: Total no of reflexive relations from A to B is 2𝑛
For Reflexive: if (𝑎, 𝑎) ∈ 𝑅, for every (𝑎 ∈ 𝐴).
For symmetric: if (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑅 then (𝑏, 𝑎) ∈ 𝑅
For Transitive: if (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑅 and (𝑏, 𝑐) ∈ 𝑅 then

Q.1 How many reflexive relations are possible on a set A whose 𝑛(𝐴) = 3?
[CBSE 2023] [1 Mark]
(a) 26 (b) 27

𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑏): 2 divides a − b}. Show that the relation R is transitive?
[CBSE 2020 - 21] [2 Marks]
Sol. Let 2 divides (𝑏 − 𝑐); where, 𝑎, 𝑏 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∈ 𝑍
So,
2 divides [(𝑎 − 𝑏) + (𝑎 − 𝑐)]
2 divides (𝑎 − 𝑐):
 Relation R is transitive.
Q.3 Check whether the relation R in the set Z of integers defined as 𝑅{(𝑎, 𝑏); 𝑎 +
𝑏 𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑏𝑦 2𝑛 } is reflexive symmetric or transitive. [CBSE 2020 - 21] [3 Marks]
 For Reflexive.
As we know, 𝑎 + 𝑎 = 2𝐴 which is even
 (𝑎, 𝑎) ∈ 𝑅 a ∈ Z
Hence R is Reflexive.
 For Symmetric
If (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑅, 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑎 + 𝑏 = 2𝜆
 𝑏 + 𝑎 = 2𝜆
 (𝑏, 𝑎) ∈ 𝑅, 𝐻𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑅 𝑖𝑠 𝑠𝑦𝑚𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐
For transitive,
If (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑅 𝑎𝑛𝑑 (𝑏, 𝑐) ∈ 𝑅
then 𝑎 + 𝑏 = 2𝜆 _______ (i)
𝑏 + 𝑐 = 2𝜇 ________(ii)
by eq. (i) and (ii), we get
 𝑎 + 2𝑏 + 𝑐 = 2(𝜆 + 𝜇)
 𝑎+𝑐 = 2(𝜆 + 𝜇 − 5)
 𝑎+𝑐 = 2K
 𝜆+𝜇−𝑏 =K
 (𝑎, 𝑐) ∈ 𝑅
Hence R is transitive.
Q.4 Given a non – empty set X, define the Relation R in the 𝑃(𝑋) as follows:

2|Page
For 𝐴, 𝐵 ∈ 𝑃(𝑋), (𝐴, 𝐵) ∈ 𝑅 iff ⊂ 𝐵. Prove that R is reflexive, transitive and not symmetric.
[Boards SQP 2023] [5 Marks]
Sol. Let 𝐴 ∈ 𝑃(𝑋), 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝐴 ⊂ 𝐴.
 (𝐴, 𝐴) ∈ 𝑅, Hence R is reflexive.
Let 𝐴, 𝐵, 𝐶 ∈ 𝑃(𝑋) such that
(𝐴, 𝐵), (𝐵, 𝐶) ∈ 𝑅
 𝐴 ⊂ 𝐵, 𝐵 ⊂ 𝐶
 𝐴 ⊂𝐶
 (𝐴, 𝐶) ∈ 𝑅 Hence, R is transitive.
∅, 𝑋 ∈ 𝑃(𝑋) such that
∅ ⊂ 𝑋, Hence (∅, 𝑋) ∈ R
But, 𝑋  ∅
 (𝑋, ∅) ∉ 𝑅
Thus, R is not symmetric.
Q.5 Let R be the relation in the set N given by 𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑏): 𝑎 = 𝑏 − 2, 𝑏 > 6} Choose the correct
answer. [CUET] [1 Marks]
Sol. (a) (2, 4) ∈ 𝑅 (b) (3, 8) ∈ 𝑅
(c) (6, 8) ∈ 𝑅 (d) (8, 7) ∈ 𝑅
Since 𝑅 ∈ 𝑁 × 𝑁 and b > 6
Put a = 6  b = 𝑏 − 2  𝑏 = 8
As 𝑏 = 8 > 6
Hence Ans.  (c) (6, 8) ∈ 𝑅.

CONCEPT 2: Function and it’s Types.


1.One – One (Injective): 𝑓(𝑥1 ) ≠ 𝑓(𝑥2 )
For 𝑥1 ≠ 𝑥2
2.Onto (Surjective): For every in the codomain, there exists an X in the
domain.
S.t 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑌

Q.1 A relation R in the set of real number R defined by R - {(𝑎, 𝑏): √𝑎 = 𝑏} is a function or not.
[CBSE SQO 2021] [1 Mark]
Sol. As we know

√𝑎 is not defined for 𝑎 ∈ (−∞, 0)


√𝑎 = 𝑏 is not a function.
Q.2 Prove that the function 𝑓 is surjective.
Where 𝑓: 𝑁 → 𝑁 such that
𝑛+1
, if n is odd
𝑓(𝑛) = { 𝑛2 }
, if n is even
2

Is the function injective? Justify your answer [CBSE SQO 2022-23][2 Marks]
Sol. For one – one,
Let 𝑥1 = 1, 𝑥2 = 2
1+1 2
𝑓(𝑥1 ) = 𝑓(1) = = = 1(Since 1 is odd)
2 2
2
𝑓(𝑥2 ) = 𝑓(2) = 2 = 1 (Since 2 is even)

Since, 𝑓(1) = 𝑓(2) but 1 ≠ 2


 𝑓 is not one – one.
For onto
Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑦, Such that 𝑌 ∈ 𝑁
When n is odd When n is even
𝑛+1 𝑛
𝑌= 𝑌=
2 2

2𝑌 = 𝑛 + 1 2𝑌 = 𝑛
2𝑌 − 1 = 𝑛
𝑛 = 2𝑌 − 1 𝑛 = 2𝑌
Thus,
For every 𝑌 ∈ 𝑁, there exists 𝑋 ∈ 𝑁
Such that 𝑓(𝑛) = 𝑌 Hence 𝑓 is onto
2𝑥+3
Q.3 Let 𝑓 ∶ 𝐴 → 𝐵 be a function defined as 𝑓(𝑥) = , where 𝐴 = 𝑅 –{3}
𝑥−3

and 𝐵 = 𝑅 – {2} is the function 𝑓 is one - one and onto?

[CBSE SQO 2019 - 20] [3 Marks]
Sol. Checking one – one.
Let 𝑥1 , 𝑥2 ∈ 𝐴
2𝑥1 +3 2𝑥2 +3
𝑓(𝑥1 ) = , 𝑓(𝑥) =
𝑥1 −3 𝑥2 −3

Putting 𝑓(𝑥1 ) = 𝑓(𝑥2 )


2𝑥1 +3 2𝑥2 +3
=
𝑥1 −3 𝑥2 −3

(2𝑥1 + 3)(𝑥2 − 3) = (2𝑥2 + 3)(𝑥1 − 3)


2𝑥1 (𝑥2 − 3) + 3(𝑥2 − 3) = 2𝑥2 (𝑥1 − 3) + 3(𝑥1 + 3)
2𝑥1 𝑥2 − 6𝑥1 + 3𝑥2 − 9 = 2𝑥2 𝑥1 − 6𝑥2 + 3𝑥1 − 9
−6𝑥1 + 3𝑥2 = −6𝑥2 + 3𝑥1
3𝑥2 + 6𝑥2 = 3𝑥1 + 6𝑥1
9𝑥2 = 9𝑥1
𝑥2 = 𝑥1
If 𝑓(𝑥1 ) = 𝑓(𝑥2 ), then 𝑥1 = 𝑥2
 𝑓 is one – one
Checking onto
Let 𝑌 ∈ 𝐵, Where
2𝑥+3
𝑌= 𝑥−3

𝑌(𝑥 − 3) = 2𝑥 + 3
𝑥𝑌 − 3𝑌 = 2𝑥 + 3
𝑥𝑌 − 2𝑥 = 3𝑌 + 3
𝑥(𝑌 − 2) = 3(𝑌 + 1)
3(𝑌+1)
𝑥= (𝑌−2)

For 𝑌 = 2, 𝑥 is not defined.


But it is given that 𝑌 ∈ 𝑅 − {2}
3(𝑌+1)
Hence, 𝑥 = ∈ 𝑅 − {3}
(𝑌−2)

Checking for 𝑌 = 𝑓(𝑥)

 Y
Thus, for every 𝑌 ∈ 𝐵, there exists 𝑥 ∈ 𝐴
Such that 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑌
Hence, 𝑓 is onto.

Q.4 Show that the function 𝑓: 𝑅 → {𝑥 ∈ 𝑅: −1 < 𝑥 < 1} defined by 𝑓(𝑥) = 1+|𝑥| and onto
function.
[CBSE SQP 2023-24] [5 Marks]
𝑥
Sol. 𝑓(𝑥) = 1−𝑥 − 1 < 𝑥 < 0 and
𝑥
𝑓(𝑥) = 1+𝑥 0 ≤ 𝑥 < 1

Now,
𝑥
(i) 𝑓(𝑥) = 1−𝑥 − 1 < 𝑥 < 0

Let 𝑓(𝑥1 ) = 𝑓(𝑥2 )


𝑥1 𝑥
 = 1−𝑥2
1−𝑥1 2

 𝑥1 − 𝑥1 𝑥2 = 𝑥2 − 𝑥1 𝑥2
 𝑥1 = 𝑥2
𝑓 is one – one
𝑥
Let 𝑌 = 1−𝑥

𝑌 − 𝑥𝑌 = 𝑥
𝑌 = 𝑥 + 𝑥𝑌

6|Page
𝑌 = 𝑥(1 + 𝑌)
𝑌
𝑥 = 1+𝑥
𝑌
𝑥 = 1+𝑌 for all value of 𝑌 ≠ −1

Such that 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑌


𝑓(𝑥) is onto.
𝑥
(ii) 𝑓(𝑥) = 1+𝑥 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 1

Let 𝑓(𝑥1 ) = 𝑓(𝑥2 )


𝑥1 𝑥
 = 1+𝑥2
1+𝑥1 2

 𝑥1 + 𝑥1 𝑥2 = 𝑥2 + 𝑥1 𝑥2
 𝑥1 = 𝑥2
𝑓 is one – one
𝑥
Let 𝑌 = 1+𝑥

𝑌 + 𝑥𝑌 = 𝑥
𝑌 = 𝑥 − 𝑥𝑌
𝑌 = 𝑥(1 − 𝑌)
𝑌
𝑥 = 1−𝑌
𝑌
For all value of 𝑌 ≠ 1, 𝑥 = 1−𝑌

Such that, 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑌


𝑓 is onto
Hence, 𝑓(𝑥) is one – one and
Onto Proved.
Q.5 The function 𝑓 ∶ 𝑅 → 𝑅 defined as
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 is: [CBSE SQP 2021-22]
(a) One – One but not onto
(b) Not one – one but onto
(c) Neither one – one nor onto
(d) One – one and onto

7|Page
Sol. Then function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 is both One – one and onto, making (d) the correct
answer.
(d) one – one and onto
CONCEPT 3: Revised Topics
Q.1 A relation R in set A = {1, 2, 3} is defined as
𝑅 = {(1,1), (1,2), (2,2), (3,3)} which of the following ordered pair in R shall be
removed to make it an equivalence relation in A.
[CBSE SQP 2021-22] [1 Marks]
(a) (1,1) (b) (1,2)
(c) (2,2) (d) (3,3)
Sol. The correct answer is (b) (1,2).
Q.2 Relation R on set A= {1,2,3,4,5} is defined as 𝑅 = {(𝑥, 𝑦): 1𝑥 2 − 𝑦 2 1 < 8}check
whether R is, reflexive, Symmetric and transitive. Is Relation R equivalence?
[CBSE 2024, Set 1] [3 Marks]
Sol. For Reflexive
As |𝑥 2 − 𝑥 2 | < 8 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑥 ∈ 𝐴
 (𝑥, 𝑥) ∈ 𝑅
 R is reflexive.
For Symmetric,
|𝑥 2 − 𝑌 2 | < 8  |𝑌 2 − 𝑥 2 | < 8
for all (𝑌, 𝑥) ∈ 𝑅
 R is Symmetric.
For transitive.
(1,2), (2,3) ∈ 𝑅 as |12 − 22 | < 8,
|22 − 32 | < 8
But, |12 − 22 | ≮ 8 ⇒ (1,3) ∉ 𝑅
 R is not Transitive.
Hence Relation R is not an equivalence relation.
Q.3 Prove that the function 𝑓 ∶ 𝑁 → 𝑁 defined by 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 + 𝑥 + 1 is one – one but not
onto. [CBSE Delhi Set-III 2019] [3 Marks]
Sol. For one – one
8|Page
Let 𝑓(𝑥1 ) = 𝑓(𝑥2 )
𝑥1 2 + 𝑥1 + 1 = 𝑥2 2 + 𝑥2 + 1
0 = 𝑥2 2 − 𝑥1 2 + 𝑥2 − 𝑥1
0 = (𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )(𝑥2 + 𝑥1 + 1)
Since (𝑥2 + 𝑥1 + 1) > 0
 𝑥2 − 𝑥1 = 0
𝑥2 = 𝑥1
So,
𝑓(𝑥1 ) ≠ 𝑓(𝑥2 ) if 𝑥1 ≠ 𝑥2
Making 𝑓 one – one
For onto
Let 𝑌 = 2
𝑓(𝑥) = 2
𝑥2 + 𝑥 + 1 = 2
𝑥2 + 𝑥 − 1 = 0
(−1±√3)
𝑥= 2

Since x is not a natural number there is no X in N. such that 𝑓 (𝑥) = 2.


∴ f is not onto
Q.4 Define the relation R in the set 𝑁 × 𝑁 as follows: for (𝑎, 𝑏), (𝑐, 𝑑) ∈ 𝑁 × 𝑁.
(𝑎, 𝑏) 𝑅 (𝑐, 𝑑) Iff 𝑎𝑑 = 𝑏𝑐.
Prove that R is an equivalence relation in 𝑁 × 𝑁. [CBSE SQP 2023] [5 Marks]
Sol. Let (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑁 × 𝑁 , Then we have
𝑎𝑏 = 𝑏𝑎  (𝑎, 𝑏) 𝑅 (𝑎, 𝑏)
Hence, R is reflexive.
 𝑎2 + 𝑑 2 = 𝑏 2 + 𝑐 2
 𝑐 2 + 𝑏 2 = 𝑑 2 + 𝑎2
 (𝑐, 𝑑) 𝑅 (𝑎, 𝑏)
Hence, R is symmetric.
Let (𝑎, 𝑏), (𝑐, 𝑑), (𝑒, 𝑓) ∈ 𝑁 × 𝑁
such that
(𝑎, 𝑏) 𝑅 (𝑐, 𝑑) , (𝑐, 𝑑) 𝑅 (𝑒, 𝑓).

9|Page
 𝑎2 + 𝑑 2 = 𝑏 2 + 𝑐 2 ___ (i)
and
𝑐 2 + 𝑓 2 = 𝑏 2 + 𝑒 2 ________ (ii)
Adding (i) and (ii)
 𝑎2 + 𝑑 2 + 𝑐 2 + 𝑓 2 = 𝑏 2 + 𝑐 2 + 𝑑 2 + 𝑒 2
 𝑎2 + 𝑓 2 = 𝑏 2 + 𝑒 2
 (𝑎, 𝑏) 𝑅 (𝑒, 𝑓)
Hence R is transitive
Since R is equivalence relation:
Q.5 Let 𝐴 = {(1,2,3)}, 𝐵 = {4,5,6,7} and
let 𝑓 = {(1, 4) , (2,5) , (3,6)} be a function from A to B. Based on the given information, f is
best defined as:
[CBSE SQP 2021-22] [1 Mark]

(b) Injective function.

[SQP]
Sol. (e) is correct answer.
Explanation: Assertion is correct as:
 𝑅 = {2,8) , (3,27) , (5,125) , (7,343)}
∴ Range = {8,27,125,343}
Reason is false as domain takes only prime values.

(b) | (𝐴 𝐵) −1 | = |𝐴| |𝐵|

(c) (AB) -1 = B -1 A -1
(d) (𝐴 + 𝐵) −1 = B-1 + A-1

Q2. If A is a square matrix of order 3 such that A2 = 2A, then find the value of |𝑨|.
[ CBSE SQP 2020 - 21]
[2 Marks]
Sol. A2 = 2A
⟹ |𝐴1 | = |2𝐴|
⟹ |𝐴 𝑥 𝐴| = |2𝐴|
⟹ |𝐴| |𝐴| = |2𝐴|
⟹ |𝐴| |𝐴| = 23 |𝐴|
⟹ |𝐴| |𝐴| = 8 |𝐴|
⟹ |𝐴| |𝐴| - 8 |𝐴| = 0

23 | P a g e
|𝐴| (|𝐴| - 8 ) = 0
Thus,
|𝐴| = 0 or |𝐴| = 8.
