Relations and Functions
Questions given below are Assertion (A) and Reason (R) based questions carrying 1 mark each.
Two statements are given, one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled as Reason (R).
Select the correct answer from the codes (A), (B), (C) and (D).as given below:
(A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and the Reason (R) is the correct explanation of
Assertion (A).
(B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and the Reason (R) is not the correct explanation
of Assertion (A).
(C) Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
(D) Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
Q8 Assertion (A): The relation 𝑅 = {(𝑥, 𝑦): 𝑥 + 𝑦 is a prime number and 𝑥, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑁} is not a
reflexive relation.
Reason (R): The number ‘2𝑛’ is composite for all-natural number 𝑛.

Q9 A relation 𝑅 on set 𝐴 = {1,2,3,4,5} is defined as 𝑅 = {(𝑥, 𝑦): |𝑥 2 − 𝑦 2 | < 8}. Check whether
the relation 𝑅 is reflexive symmetric and transitive.
Q10 A function 𝑓 is defined from 𝑅 → 𝑅 as 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏 such that 𝑓(1) = 1 and 𝑓(2) = 3. Find
function 𝑓(𝑥). Hence check whether 𝑓(𝑥) is one-one and onto or not?

2𝑥
Q11 Show that a function 𝑓: 𝑅 → 𝑅 defined by 𝑓(𝑥) = 1+𝑥 2 is neither one-one nor onto. Further,
𝑅 = {(𝑥, 𝑦): 𝑥 + 𝑦 is an integer divisible by 2}. Show that 𝑅 is an equivalence relation. Also,
write the equivalence class [2].
𝑅 = {(𝑥, 𝑦): (𝑥 − 𝑦) is divisible by 5}. Show that 𝑅 is an equivalence relation. Also, find the
equivalence class[5].
Q17 Let 𝐴 = 𝑅 − {3} and 𝐵 = 𝑅 − {𝑎}. Find the value of ‘𝑎’ such that the function 𝑓: 𝐴 → 𝐵
𝑥−2
defined by 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥−3 is onto. Also, check whether the given function is one-one or not.
𝑥−3
Q18 Let 𝐴 = 𝑅 − {5} and 𝐵 = 𝑅 − {1}. Consider the function 𝑓: 𝐴 → 𝐵 defined as 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥−5.
𝑥−3
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥−4 ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝐴. Show that 𝑓 is one-one and onto.
Case Study
Q22 Students of a school are taken to a railway museum to learn about railway heritage and its
history.
An exhibit in the museum depicts many rail lines on the track near the railway station. Let 𝐿 be
the set of all rail lines and 𝑅 be the relation on 𝐿 defined by
𝑅 = {𝑙1 , 𝑙2 ): 𝑙1 is parallel to 𝑙2 } .
