Exercise 1.1

Question 1: Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric and transitive.(Class 12 ncert solution math exercise 1.1)

(i) Relation $\mathrm{R}$ in the set $A=\{1,2,3, \ldots, 13,14\}$ defined as

$R=\{(x, y): 3 x-y=0\}$

(ii) Relation $\mathrm{R}$ in the set of $\mathrm{N}$ natural numbers defined as

$R=\{(x, y): y=x+5 \text { and } x<4\}$

(iii) Relation $\mathrm{R}$ in the set $A=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$ defined as

$R=\{(x, y): y \text { is divisible by } x\}$

(iv) Relation $\mathrm{R}$ in the set of $\mathrm{Z}$ integers defined as

$R=\{(x, y): x-y \text { is an integer }\}$

(v) Relation $\mathrm{R}$ in the set of human beings in a town at a particular time given by

(a) $R=\{(x, y): x$ and $y$ work at the same place $\}$

(b) $R=\{(x, y): x$ and $y$ live in the same locality $\}$

(c) $R=\{(x, y): x$ is exactly $7 \mathrm{~cm}$ taller than $y\}$

(d) $R=\{(x, y): x$ is wife of $y\}$

(e) $R=\{(x, y): x$ is father of $y\}$

Solution:(i) $R=\{(1,3),(2,6),(3,9),(4,12)\}$

$\mathrm{R}$ is not reflexive because $(1,1),(2,2) \ldots$ and $(14,14) \notin R$ .

$R$ is not symmetric because $(1,3) \in R$ , but $(3,1) \notin R \cdot[$ since $3(3) \neq 0]$ .

$R$ is not transitive because $(1,3),(3,9) \in R$ , but $(1,9) \notin R \cdot[3(1)-9 \neq 0]$ .

Hence, $R$ is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.

(ii) $R=\{(1,6),(2,7),(3,8)\}$

$\mathrm{R}$ is not reflexive because $(1,1) \notin R$ .

$\mathrm{R}$ is not symmetric because $(1,6) \in R$ but $(6,1) \notin R$ .

$\mathrm{R}$ is not transitive because there isn’t any ordered pair in $\mathrm{R}$ such that $(x, y),(y, z) \in R$ , so $(x, z) \notin R$ .

Hence, $\mathrm{R}$ is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.

(iii) $R=\{(x, y): y$ is divisible by $x\}$

We know that any number other than 0 is divisible by itself.

Thus, $(x, x) \in R$

So, $R$ is reflexive. $(2,4) \in R \quad$ [because 4 is divisible by 2 $]$

But $(4,2) \notin R$ [since 2 is not divisible by 4 $]$

So, $\mathrm{R}$ is not symmetric.

Let $(x, y)$ and $(y, z) \in R$ . So, $\mathrm{y}$ is divisible by $\mathrm{x}$ and $\mathrm{z}$ is divisible by $\mathrm{y}$ .

So, $\mathrm{z}$ is divisible by $\mathrm{x} \Rightarrow(x, z) \in R$

So, $R$ is transitive.

So, $R$ is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.

(iv) $R=\{(x, y): x-y$ is an integer $\}$

For $x \in \mathrm{Z},(x, x) \notin R$ because $x-x=0$ is an integer.

So, $\mathrm{R}$ is reflexive.

For, $x, y \in Z$ , if $x, y \in \mathrm{R}$ , then $x-y$ is an integer $\Rightarrow(y-x)$ is an integer.

So, $(y, x) \in R$

So, $\mathrm{R}$ is symmetric.

Let $(x, y)$ and $(y, z) \in R$ , where $x, y, z \in \mathrm{Z}$ .

$\Rightarrow(x-y)$ and $(y-z)$ are integers.

$\Rightarrow x-z=(x-y)+(y-z)$ is an integer.

So, $\mathrm{R}$ is transitive.

So, $R$ is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.

(v)(a) $R=\{(x, y): x$ and $y$ work at the same place $\}$

$\mathrm{R}$ is reflexive because $(x, x) \in R$

$\mathrm{R}$ is symmetric because,

If $(x, y) \in R$ , then $x$ and $\mathrm{y}$ work at the same place and $\mathrm{y}$ and $x$ also work at the same place. $(y, x) \in R$ .

$\mathrm{R}$ is transitive because,

Let $(x, y),(y, z) \in R$

$x$ and $y$ work at the same place and $y$ and $z$ work at the same place.

Then, $x$ and $z$ also works at the same place. $(x, z) \in R$ .

Hence, $\mathrm{R}$ is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.

(b) $R=\{(x, y): x$ and $y$ live in the same locality $\}$

$\mathrm{R}$ is reflexive because $(x, x) \in R$

$\mathrm{R}$ is symmetric because,

If $(x, y) \in R$ , then $x$ and $y$ live in the same locality and $\mathrm{y}$ and $x$ also live in the same locality $(y, x) \in R$ .

$\mathrm{R}$ is transitive because, Let $(x, y),(y, z) \in R$

$x$ and $y$ live in the same locality and $y$ and $z$ live in the same locality.

Then $x$ and $z$ also live in the same locality. $(x, z) \in R$ .

Hence, $\mathrm{R}$ is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.

(c) $R=\{(x, y): x$ is exactly $7 \mathrm{~cm}$ taller than $y\}$

$\mathrm{R}$ is not reflexive because $(x, x) \notin R$ .

$\mathrm{R}$ is not symmetric because,

If $(x, y) \in R$ , then $x$ is exactly $7 c m$ taller than $\mathrm{y}$ and $\mathrm{y}$ is clearly not taller than $x$ $(y, x) \notin R$ .

$\mathrm{R}$ is not transitive because,

Let $(x, y),(y, z) \in R$

$x$ is exactly $7 \mathrm{~cm}$ taller than $\mathrm{y}$ and $y$ is exactly $7 \mathrm{~cm}$ taller than $z$ .

Then $x$ is exactly $14 \mathrm{~cm}$ taller than $z .(x, z) \notin R$

Hence, $\mathrm{R}$ is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.

(d) $R=\{(x, y): x$ is wife of $y\}$

$\mathrm{R}$ is not reflexive because $(x, x) \notin R$ .

$\mathrm{R}$ is not symmetric because,

Let $(x, y) \in R, x$ is the wife of $y$ and $y$ is not the wife of $x .(y, x) \notin R$ .

$\mathrm{R}$ is not transitive because,

Let $(x, y),(y, z) \in R$

$x$ is wife of $\mathrm{y}$ and $y$ is wife of $z$ , which is not possible.

$(x, z) \notin R$ .

Hence, $\mathrm{R}$ is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.

(e) $R=\{(x, y): x$ is father of $y\}$

$\mathrm{R}$ is not reflexive because $(x, x) \notin R$ .

$\mathrm{R}$ is not symmetric because,

Let $(x, y) \in R, x$ is the father of $y$ and $y$ is not the father of $x .(y, x) \notin R$ .

$\mathrm{R}$ is not transitive because,

Let $(x, y),(y, z) \in R$

$x$ is father of $\mathrm{y}$ and $y$ is father of $z, x$ is not father of $z .(x, z) \notin R$ .

Hence, $\mathrm{R}$ is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is not reflexive.

$(1,4) \in R$ as $1<4$ . But 4 is not less than $1^{2}$ .

$(4,1) \notin R$

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is not symmetric.

$(3,2)(2,1.5) \in R$

[Because $3<2^{2}=4$ and $\left.2<(1.5)^{2}=2.25\right]$

$3>(1.5)^{2}=2.25$

R is neither reflective nor symmetric nor transitive.

Question 4: Show that the relation $\mathrm{R}$ in $\mathrm{R}$ defined as $R=\{(a, b): a \leq b\}$ is reflexive and transitive, but not symmetric.

Solution: $R=\{(a, b): a \leq b\}$

$(a, a) \in R$

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is reflexive.

$(2,4) \in R($ as $2<4)$

$(4,2) \notin R($ as $4>2)$

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is not symmetric.

$(a, b),(b, c) \in R$

$\Rightarrow(a, c) \in R$

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is transitive.

$\mathrm{R}$ is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.

Question 5: Check whether the relation $\mathrm{R}$ in $\mathrm{R}$ defined as $R=\left\{(a, b): a \leq b^{3}\right\}$ is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.

Solution: $R=\left\{(a, b): a \leq b^{3}\right\}$

Reflexive:- $\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right) \notin R$ , since $\frac{1}{2}>\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{3}$

$\left(3, \frac{6}{5}\right) \notin R \Rightarrow 3>\left(\frac{6}{5}\right)^{3}$

Question 7: Show that the relation $\mathrm{R}$ in the set $\mathrm{A}$ of all books in a library of a college, given by $R=\{(x, y): x$ and $y$ have same number of pages $\}$ is an equivalence relation.

Solution: $R=\{(x, y): x$ and $y$ have same number of pages $\}$

$\mathrm{R}$ is reflexive since $(x, x) \in R$ as $x$ and $x$ have same number of pages. Therefore R is reflexive.

Since, $(x, y) \in R$

$x$ and $y$ have same number of pages and $\mathrm{y}$ and $x$ have same number of pages $(y, x) \in R$

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is symmetric.

$(x, y) \in R,(y, z) \in R$

$x$ and $y$ have same number of pages, $y$ and $z$ have same number of pages.

Then $x$ and $z$ have same number of pages.

$(x, z) \in R$

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is transitive.

Question 8: Show that the relation R in the set $A=\{1,2,3,4,5\}$ given by $R=\{(a, b):|a-b|$ is even $\}$ is an equivalence relation. Show that all the elements of $\{1,3,5\}$ are related to each other and all the elements of $\{2,4\}$ are related to each other. But no element of $\{1,3,5\}$ is related to any element of $\{2,4\}$ .

Solution: $a \in A$

$|a-a|=0$ (which is even)

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is reflective.

$(a, b) \in R \Rightarrow|a-b| \text { is even] }$

$\Rightarrow|-(a-b)|=|b-a| \text { is even] }$

$\Rightarrow (b, a) \in R$

$\therefore \mathrm{R} \text { is symmetric. }$

$(a, b) \in R \text { and }(b, c) \in \mathrm{R}$

$\Rightarrow|a-b| \text { is even and }|b-c| \text { is even }$

$\Rightarrow(a-b) \text { is even and }(b-c)_{\text {is even }}$

$\Rightarrow(a-c)=(a+b)+(b-c)_{\text {is even }}$

$\Rightarrow|a-b|$ is even

$\Rightarrow(a, c) \in R$

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is transitive.

$\mathrm{R}$ is an equivalence relation.

All elements of $\{1,3,5\}$ are related to each other because they are all odd. So, the modulus of the difference between any two elements is even.

Similarly, all elements $\{2,4\}$ are related to each other because they are all even.

No element of $\{1,3,5\}$ is related to any elements of $\{2,4\}$ as all elements of $\{1,3,5\}$ are odd and all elements of $\{2,4\}$ are even. So, the modulus of the difference between the two elements will not be even.

Question 9: Show that each of the relation R in the set $A=\{x \in Z: 0 \leq x \leq 12\}$ , given by

(a). $R=\{(a, b):|a-b|$ is a mutiple of 4 $\}$

(a) $R=\{(a, b):|a-b|$ is a mutiple of 4 $\}$

$a \in A,(a, a) \in R \quad[|a-a|=0$ is a multiple of 4 $]$

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is reflexive.

$(a, b) \in R \Rightarrow|a-b|$ [is a multiple of 4 ]

$\Rightarrow|-(a-b)|=|b-a|$ [is a multiple of 4]

$(b, a) \in R$

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is symmetric.

$(a, b) \in R$ and $(b, c) \in \mathrm{R}$

$\Rightarrow|a-b|$ is a multiple of 4 and $|b-c|$ is a multiple of 4

$\Rightarrow(a-b)$ is a multiple of 4 and $(b-c)$ is a multiple of 4

$\Rightarrow(a-c)=(a-b)+(b-c)$ is a multiple of 4

$\Rightarrow|a-c|$ is a multiple of 4 $\Rightarrow(a, c) \in R$

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is transitive.

$R$ is an equivalence relation.

The set of elements related to 1 is $\{1,5,9\}$ as

$|1-1|=0$ is a multiple of 4 .

$|5-1|=4$ is a multiple of 4 .

$|9-1|=8$ is a multiple of 4 .

(b) $R=\{(a, b): a=b\}$

$a \in A,(a, a) \in R \quad$ [since $\mathrm{a}=\mathrm{a}$ ]

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is reflective.

$(a, b) \in R \Rightarrow a=b$

$\Rightarrow b=a$

$\Rightarrow(b, a) \in R$

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is symmetric.

$(a, b) \in R$ and $(b, c) \in \mathrm{R}$

$\Rightarrow a=b$ and $b=c$

$\Rightarrow a=c$

$\Rightarrow(a, c) \in R$

$(5,5),(6,6),(7,7) \notin R$

$\mathrm{R}$ is not reflexive as $(5,5),(6,6),(7,7) \notin R$

$(5,6),(6,5) \in R$ and $(6,5) \in R, R$ is symmetric.

$\Rightarrow(5,6),(6,5) \in R$ , but $(5,5) \notin R$

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is not transitive.

$\Rightarrow(b, a) \in R \quad$ for $a, b \in R$

$R$ is not transitive since $(4,6),(6,8) \in R$ , but $(4,8) \notin R$

$\mathrm{R}$ is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive.

(d) $R=\left\{(a, b): a^{3}>b^{3}\right\}$

$(a, a) \in R$

$(a, b),(b, c) \in R$

$\Rightarrow a^{3} \geq b^{3} \text { and } b^{3}<c^{3}$

$\Rightarrow a^{3}<c^{3}$

Solution: R={(P, Q) : Distance of the point P from the origin is same as the distance of the point Q from the origin}

Clearly, $(P, P) \in R$

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is reflexive.

$(P, Q) \in R$

Clearly $\mathrm{R}$ is symmetric.

$(P, Q),(Q, S) \in R$

⇒ The distance of P and Q from the origin is the same and also, the distance of Q and S from the origin is the same.

⇒ The distance of P and S from the origin is the same.

$(P, S) \in R$

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is transitive. $R$ is an equivalence relation.

Solution: $R=\left\{\left(T_{1}, T_{2}\right): T_{1}\right.$ is similar to $\left.T_{2}\right\}$

R is reflexive since every triangle is similar to itself.

If $\left(T_{1}, T_{2}\right) \in R$ , then $T_{1}$ is similar to $T_{2}$ .

$T_{2}$ is similar to $T_{1}$ .

$\Rightarrow\left(T_{2}, T_{1}\right) \in R$

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is symmetric.

$\left(T_{1}, T_{2}\right),\left(T_{2}, T_{3}\right) \in R$

$T_{1}$ is similar to $T_{2}$ and $T_{2}$ is similar to $T_{3}$ .

$\therefore T_{1}$ is similar to $T_{3}$ .

$\Rightarrow\left(T_{1}, T_{3}\right) \in R$

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is transitive.

$\frac{3}{6}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{5}{10}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$

$\therefore$ Corresponding sides of triangles $T_{1}$ and $T_{3}$ are in the same ratio.

Triangle $T_{1}$ is similar to triangle $T_{3}$ .

Solution: $R=\left\{\left(L_{1}, L_{2}\right): L_{1}\right.$ is parallel to $\left.\mathrm{L}_{2}\right\}$

$\mathrm{R}$ is reflexive as any line $L_{1}$ is parallel to itself i.e., $\left(L_{1}, L_{2}\right) \in R$

If $\left(L_{1}, L_{2}\right) \in R$ , then

$\Rightarrow L_{1}$ is parallel to $L_{2}$ .

$\Rightarrow L_{2}$ is parallel to $L_{1}$ . $\Rightarrow\left(L_{2}, L_{1}\right) \in R$

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is symmetric.

$\left(L_{1}, L_{2}\right),\left(L_{2}, L_{3}\right) \in R$

$\Rightarrow L_{1}$ is parallel to $L_{2}$

$\Rightarrow L_{2}$ is parallel to $L_{3}$

$\therefore L_{1}$ is parallel to $L_{3}$ .

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is reflexive.

$(1,2) \in R$ but $(2,1) \notin R$

$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is not symmetric.

$(a, b),(b, c) \in R$ for all $a, b, c \in\{1,2,3,4\}$

$\therefore(8,7) \notin R$

Consider $(6,8)$

$8>6$ and $6=8-2$

$\therefore(6,8) \in R$

The correct answer is C.
