Class XII : Assignment of Chapter 1 – Relations and Functions
1. If A is a set of even natural numbers less than 8 and B is a set of prime numbers less than 7, then the
number of relations from A to B is
(a) 29 (b) 92 (c) 32 (d) 29-1
3. Two finite sets A and B have n and 2 elements respectively. The total number of relations from A to B
is 56 more than the total number of functions from A to B, then value of n is
(a) 3 (b) 5 (c) 7 (d) 9
4. If a set A and B has 3 and 2 elements respectively, then the number of relations which are not a
functions
(a) 64 (b) 8 (c) 9 (d) 56
5. Let there be a set S consisting n elements. Then the number of functions from S x S S is
(a) n2 (b) nn (c) (d) n2n
7. Set A has 3 elements and set B has 4 elements. Then the number of injective functions that can be
defined from set A to set B is
(a) 144 (b) 12 (c) 24 (d) None of these
8. Let A = {1, 2, 3} and consider the relation R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1, 2), (2, 3), (1, 3)}, Then R is
(i) Reflexive but not symmetric (ii) Reflexive but not transitive
(iii) Symmetric and transitive (iv) Equivalence Relations
10. ASSERTION: Relation R in the set A of all the books in a library of a college, given by
R = {(x, y) : x and y have same number of pages} is an equivalence relation.
REASON: A relation is said to be equivalence if it is Reflexive, Symmetric and not Transitive relation.
19. If N denote the set of all natural numbers and R be the relation on N x N defined as
(a , b) R (c , d), if ad(b + c) = bc(a + d). Show that R is an equivalence relation.
20. Show that the functions f: R R defined by f(x) = for all x R is neither one – one nor onto.
24. Check whether the relation R defined in the set {1,2,3,4,5,6} as R= is reflexive,
symmetric or transitive.
