Class 11 Maths Chapter 2. Relations and Functions Exercise 2.1 Solutions :

1. If   , find the values of  and .

Solution : We have,

   and 

   

    

          

Therefore, the value of and  are 2 and 1 .        

2. If the set A has 3 elements and the set B = {3, 4, 5}, then find the number of elements in (A×B).
Solution : [Note : If n(A) = p and n(B) = q, then n(A × B) = pq.]

Give,

Here ,  and

3. If G = 7, 8 and H = 5, 4, 2 find G × H and H × G.

Solution : [Note : Cartesian product A × B of two sets A and B is given by A × B = {(a, b): a ∈ A, b ∈ B} ]

Given, G = 7, 8 and H = 5, 4, 2 

4. State whether each of the following statements are true or false. If the statement is false, rewrite the given statement correctly.
(i) If  and  then
(ii) If A and B are non-empty sets, then A × B is a non-empty set of ordered pairs (, ) such that  ∈ A and  ∈ B.
(iii) If A = 1, 2 B = 3, 4 then .

Solution : (i) False

Because, P = {m ,n} and Q = {n ,m} then P × Q ={(m ,m),(m, n),(n ,m),(n ,n)}

(ii) False

 If A andB are non-empty sets, then A×B is a non-empty set of ordered pairs (x,y) such that x∈A and y∈B . Because,  A×B is always non-empty; however, if either A or B is empty, then A×B would be empty.

(ii) True

 If A={1,2} , B={3,4} , and   represents the empty set, then is equivalent to  , which is the empty set   . This is because the intersection of any set with the empty set is the empty set.


5. If A = 1, 1 find A × A × A.

Solution : Given ,

={(– 1 ,–1 , –1), (–1 , 1 , –1), (1 , –1 , –1) ,(1 , 1 , –1)  , (–1, –1 , 1), (–1 , 1 ,1), (1 , –1 , 1), (1 , 1 , 1)}
6. If  . Find A and B.

Solution :  [Cartesian product A × B of two sets A and B is given by A × B = {(a, b): a ∈ A, b ∈ B}]

We have,

and
7. Let  and  Verify that
(i) A × (B ∩ C) = (A × B) ∩ (A × C). (ii) A × C is a subset of B × D.

Solution : (i) A × (B ∩ C) = (A × B) ∩ (A × C)

Since B ∩ C = {1,2,3,4} ∩ {5,6} =

A × B = {1,2} × {1,2,3,4}

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

A × C = {1,2} ×{5,6} = {(1,5),(1,6),(2,5),(2,6)}

LHS :  A × (B ∩ C)

A × (B ∩ C) = A × =  

RHS :  (A × B) ∩ (A × C)

={(1,1) , (1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4)}  ∩  {(1,5), (1,6), (2,5), (2,6)}

=

LHS = RHS  verified .

(ii) A × C is a subset of B × D :

A × C = {(1,5), (1,6), (2,5), (2,6)}

B × D = {(1,5), (1,6), (1,7), (1,8), (2,5), (2,6), (2,7), (2,8), (3,5), (3,6), (3,7), (3,8), (4,5), (4,6), (4,7), (4,8)}

Since every element in A × C is also in B × D, A × C is a subset of B × D.

Therefore, the statements is verified.

8. Let A = 1, 2 and B = 3, 4 Write A × B. How many subsets will A × B have? List them.

Solution : Here,  and

A×B = {1 , 2} × {3 , 4}

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

A×B has 4 elements, so it will have  subsets.

A × B =  , {(1,3)} , {(1,4)} , {(2,3)} , {(2,4)} , {(1,3),(1,4)} , {(1,3),(2,3)} ,{(1,3),(2,4)} , {(1,4),(2,3)} , {(1,4),(2,4)} , { (2,3),(2,4) } , {(1,3),(1,4),(2,3)} , {(1,3),(1,4),(2,4)} , {(1,3),(2,3),(2,4)} , {(1,4),(2,3),(2,4)}

So, A×B has 16 subsets .

9. Let A and B be two sets such that  and . If  are in A × B, find A and B, where  and  are distinct elements.

Solution : Given that  , it means that set A has three distinct elements.

and  , it means that set B has two distinct elements.

Now, the ordered pairs  and  are in  .

 i.e.,  and  .

So,  and  , where   and  are distinct elements.

10. The Cartesian product A × A has 9 elements among which are found (–1, 0) and (0,1). Find the set A and the remaining elements of A × A .

Solution : We know that (−1,0)and (0,1) are elements of A×A, so −1,0,1 must be the elements of A.

Therefore, A={−1,0,1}.

So, A×A={(−1,−1),(−1,0),(−1,1),(0,−1),(0,0),(0,1),(1,−1),(1,0),(1,1)}.

The remaining elements of A×B are (−1,−1) ,(−1,1) ,(0,−1),(0,0) ,(1,−1) , (1,1) .

Solution :  (i) {(2,1),(5,1),(8,1),(11,1),(14,1),(17,1)} :

             

 This relation is a function because each input (first component) is associated with only one output (second component).

The function is constant, where y = 1  for all x .

Solution :  (i) Given the function    

 Since  is defined as  , the domain of  is also all real numbers.

So, the domain of  is  .

 The function  is the negation of the absolute value function.

 The absolute value of any real number is always non-negative, and negating it will give a non-positive result.

Now,  the interval  .

For   ,  , and for  ,  . Both 4 and 9 are associated with  and  , which violates the definition of a function. Therefore,  is not a function.

Therefore, the domain of  is all real numbers  such that .

Domain of    

The square root of a real number is always non-negative,

i.e.,  

     

 So, the range is all non-negative real numbers.

Range of  or   and

5. Find the domain and the range of the real function  defined by  .

Solution :  The function   is the absolute value function.

The absolute value function is defined for all real numbers, so the domain of  is R , which means  can be any real number.

The range of  is the set of non-negative real numbers.

The absolute value of any real number is non-negative, so  takes values greater than or equal to zero.

Therefore, the range is  .

6. Let be a function from  into . Determine the range of  .

Solution : Given, the function is defined for all real numbers  .

The second component of  is

 Since,  for all real  .

Therefore,  , and the fraction  will lies between 0 and 1 .

(ii)   , implies  .
(iii)  implies . Justify your answer in each case.

Solution :  (i) No,   for all  . The relation R is defined as  and  .

 This means that   would only be in R if  , is a perfect square, but not for all natural numbers.

(ii) No,   does not imply  .

For example, if  , it does not mean that because the relation R specifically involves the square of the first element being equal to the second element.

(iii) No,   and   does not imply  .

For example, if  and  , it does not mean that  . The relation is only defined for elements where the first element is the square of the second element.

10. Let  and  Are the following true?
(i)  is a relation from A to B (ii)  is a function from  to . Justify your answer in each case.

Solution : Given ,  and

(i)  is a relation from A to B :

 Yes, because every ordered pair in  has its first element in set A and its second element in set B.

(ii)  is a function from  to :

No,   is not a function from A to B , because there are elements in A  (specifically, 2) that map to more than one element in B .

11. Let  be the subset of  defined by  Is  a function from  to  ? Justify your answer.

Solution :  The set  is defined as

For  to be a function from Z to Z , each element in Z should be related to a unique element in Z under  .

Suppose  and  , then   and  .

Again,   and  , then  and  .

So,  maps different elements in Z (0 and 1) to the same element (1) in Z . Therefore,  is not a function from Z to Z .

12. Let  and let  be defined by f(n)= the highest prime factor of . Find the range of .

Solution : Given,  A = {9, 10, 11, 12, 13}

 (since 3 is the highest prime factor of 9)

 (since 5 is the highest prime factor of 10)

 (since 11 is the highest prime factor of 11)

 (since 3 is the highest prime factor of 12)

 (since 13 is a prime number, and it is the only prime factor of 13)

Range

So, the range of the function  is {3, 5, 11, 13}.
