Which of the following is a relation on the set {1, 2, 3}?

  1. {(1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 3)}

  2. {(1, 2), (2, 1), (3, 3)}

  3. {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)}

  4. {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1)}


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A relation on a set is a subset of the Cartesian product of the set with itself. In this case, the relation is {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1)} because it is a subset of the Cartesian product {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3)}.

Which of the following is a reflexive relation on the set {1, 2, 3}?

  1. {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)}

  2. {(1, 2), (2, 1), (3, 3)}

  3. {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 1)}

  4. {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1)}


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A reflexive relation is a relation where every element in the set is related to itself. In this case, the relation {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)} is reflexive because every element in the set {1, 2, 3} is related to itself.

Which of the following is a symmetric relation on the set {1, 2, 3}?

  1. {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)}

  2. {(1, 2), (2, 1), (3, 3)}

  3. {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 1)}

  4. {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1)}


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A symmetric relation is a relation where if (a, b) is in the relation, then (b, a) is also in the relation. In this case, the relation {(1, 2), (2, 1), (3, 3)} is symmetric because if (1, 2) is in the relation, then (2, 1) is also in the relation.

Which of the following is a transitive relation on the set {1, 2, 3}?

  1. {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)}

  2. {(1, 2), (2, 1), (3, 3)}

  3. {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 1)}

  4. {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1)}


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A transitive relation is a relation where if (a, b) and (b, c) are in the relation, then (a, c) is also in the relation. In this case, the relation {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1)} is transitive because if (1, 2) and (2, 3) are in the relation, then (1, 3) is also in the relation.

Which of the following is an equivalence relation on the set {1, 2, 3}?

  1. {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)}

  2. {(1, 2), (2, 1), (3, 3)}

  3. {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 1)}

  4. {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1)}


Correct Option:
Explanation:

An equivalence relation is a relation that is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. In this case, the relation {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1, 2), (2, 1), (1, 3), (3, 1)} is an equivalence relation because it is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.

What is the domain of the relation {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1)}?

  1. {1, 2, 3}

  2. {1, 2}

  3. {2, 3}

  4. {3, 1}


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The domain of a relation is the set of all first components of the ordered pairs in the relation. In this case, the domain of the relation {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1)} is {1, 2, 3} because the first components of the ordered pairs are 1, 2, and 3.

What is the range of the relation {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1)}?

  1. {1, 2, 3}

  2. {1, 2}

  3. {2, 3}

  4. {3, 1}


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The range of a relation is the set of all second components of the ordered pairs in the relation. In this case, the range of the relation {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1)} is {1, 2, 3} because the second components of the ordered pairs are 1, 2, and 3.

What is the inverse of the relation {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1)}?

  1. {(2, 1), (3, 2), (1, 3)}

  2. {(1, 3), (2, 1), (3, 2)}

  3. {(3, 1), (1, 2), (2, 3)}

  4. {(3, 2), (1, 3), (2, 1)}


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The inverse of a relation is the relation that consists of all the ordered pairs (b, a) such that (a, b) is in the original relation. In this case, the inverse of the relation {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1)} is {(2, 1), (3, 2), (1, 3)}.

What is the composition of the relations {(1, 2), (2, 3)} and {(3, 4), (4, 5)}?

  1. {(1, 4), (2, 5)}

  2. {(1, 5), (2, 4)}

  3. {(1, 3), (2, 4)}

  4. {(1, 2), (2, 3)}


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The composition of two relations R and S is the relation that consists of all the ordered pairs (a, c) such that there exists an element b such that (a, b) is in R and (b, c) is in S. In this case, the composition of the relations {(1, 2), (2, 3)} and {(3, 4), (4, 5)} is {(1, 4), (2, 5)}.

What is the union of the relations {(1, 2), (2, 3)} and {(3, 4), (4, 5)}?

  1. {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5)}

  2. {(1, 3), (2, 4), (3, 5)}

  3. {(1, 4), (2, 5)}

  4. {(1, 2), (2, 3)}


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The union of two relations R and S is the relation that consists of all the ordered pairs that are in either R or S. In this case, the union of the relations {(1, 2), (2, 3)} and {(3, 4), (4, 5)} is {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5)}.

What is the intersection of the relations {(1, 2), (2, 3)} and {(3, 4), (4, 5)}?

  1. {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5)}

  2. {(1, 3), (2, 4), (3, 5)}

  3. {(1, 4), (2, 5)}

  4. {}


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The intersection of two relations R and S is the relation that consists of all the ordered pairs that are in both R and S. In this case, the intersection of the relations {(1, 2), (2, 3)} and {(3, 4), (4, 5)} is {} because there are no ordered pairs that are in both relations.

What is the difference of the relations {(1, 2), (2, 3)} and {(3, 4), (4, 5)}?

  1. {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5)}

  2. {(1, 3), (2, 4), (3, 5)}

  3. {(1, 2), (2, 3)}

  4. {(3, 4), (4, 5)}


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The difference of two relations R and S is the relation that consists of all the ordered pairs that are in R but not in S. In this case, the difference of the relations {(1, 2), (2, 3)} and {(3, 4), (4, 5)} is {(1, 2), (2, 3)} because the ordered pairs (1, 2) and (2, 3) are in R but not in S.

What is the symmetric difference of the relations {(1, 2), (2, 3)} and {(3, 4), (4, 5)}?

  1. {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5)}

  2. {(1, 3), (2, 4), (3, 5)}

  3. {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5)}

  4. {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5)}


Correct Option: A,C,D
Explanation:

The symmetric difference of two relations R and S is the relation that consists of all the ordered pairs that are in either R or S but not in both. In this case, the symmetric difference of the relations {(1, 2), (2, 3)} and {(3, 4), (4, 5)} is {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5)} because the ordered pairs (1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), and (4, 5) are in either R or S but not in both.

What is the Cartesian product of the sets {1, 2} and {3, 4}?

  1. {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4)}

  2. {(1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 1), (2, 2)}

  3. {(1, 2), (2, 1), (3, 4), (4, 3)}

  4. {(1, 3), (2, 4), (3, 1), (4, 2)}


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Cartesian product of two sets A and B is the set of all ordered pairs (a, b) such that a is in A and b is in B. In this case, the Cartesian product of the sets {1, 2} and {3, 4} is {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4)}.
