Case study Chapter 1 (Relation and Function)
Case study 2:- Sherlin and Danju are playing Ludo at home during COVID- 19. While rolling the dice, Sherlin’s sister Raji cbserved and noted the possible outcomes of the throw every time belongs to set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Let A be the set of players while B be the set of all possible outcomes.(Case study relation and function 2)
A = {S, D}, B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Based on the above information answer the question.
(i) (a) Let R:B → B be defined by R = {(x, y) : y is divisible by x}. Verify that whether R is Reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
(b) Raji wnts to know the number of functions from A to B . Find the number of all possible functions.
(ii) (a) Let R be a relation on B defined by R = {(1, 2), (2, 2), (1, 3), (3, 4), (3, 1), (4, 3), (5, 5)}. Then R is which kind of relation ?
(b) Raji wants to know the number of relations possible from A to B. Find the number of possible relation.
Solution:(i) (a) Given R:B → B be defined by
R = {(x, y): y is divisible by x}
Reflexive: Let x ∈ B, Since x always divide x itself
⇒ (x, x) ∈ R
It is reflexive
Symmetric: Let 2, 6 ∈ B and let (2, 6) ∈ R
⇒ 6 is divisible by 2.
⇒ 2 is not divisible by 6
⇒ (6, 2) ∉ R
It is not Symmetric.
Transitive: Let 1, 2, 6 ∈ B and
Since, (1, 2) ∈ R and (2, 6) ∈ R
⇒ 2 is divisible by 1 and 6 is divisible by 2
⇒ 6 is divisible by 1
⇒ (1, 6) ∈ R
It is transitive.
Hence, relation is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.
(b) We have,
A = {S, D} ⇒ n(A) = 2
and B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} ⇒ n(B) = 6
Number of functions from A to B is 6² = 36
(ii) (a) Given, R be a relation on B defined by
R = {(1, 2), (2, 2), (1, 3), (3, 4), (3, 1), (4, 3), (5, 5)}
R is not reflexive since (1, 1), (3, 3), (4, 4) ∉ R
R is not symmetric as (1, 2) ∈ R but (2, 1) ∉ R
And R is not transitive as (1, 3) ∈ R and (3, 1) ∈ R but (1, 1) ∉ R
R is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.
(b) Total number of possible relations from A to B

An organization conducted bike race under 2 different categories- boys and girls. In all, there were 250 participants. Among all of them finally three from category 1 and two from category 2 were selected for the final race. Ravi from two sets B and G with these participants for his college project.
Let 
and 
where B represents the set of boys selected and G the set of girls who were selected for the final race.
Ravi decides to explore these sets for various types of relations and functions

Case study 4:- Read the following answer the question(Case study relation and function 4)
Student of gade 9,planned to plant saplings along straight lines, parallel to each other to one side of the play ground ensuring that they had enough play area. Let us assume that they planted one of the rows of the saplings along the line y = x – 4. Let L be the set of all lines which are parallel on the ground and R be a relation on L.
