AQ010-3-1-MCFC Relation & Function
1. Let A = {1, 2} and B = {3, 4, 5}. Write all the elements of each set:
a) A × B b) B × A c) A2
d) A × A × B
2. Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4}. Write out all the ordered pairs in the relation R on A if
a) aRb such that a < b b) aRb such that a = b
c) aRb such that a and b both odd. d) aRb such that a + b = 4.
3. For each of these relations on the set {1, 2, 3, 4}, decide whether it is equivalent relation (reflexive,
symmetric and transitive).
(a) {(2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4)}
(b) {(1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4)}
(c) {(2, 4), (4, 2)}
(d) {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4)}
(e) {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 1), (3, 4)}
4. P, Q, R, S and T are five relations on the set A = {1, 2, 3}, where
P = {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (3,3)} Q = {(1,1), (1,2), (2,1), (2,2), (3,3)}
R = {(1,1), (1,2), (2,2), (3,3)} S=Ø T = A A = A2
Determine whether or not each of the above relations on A is
(a) Reflexive
(b) Symmetric
(c) Transitive
5. R1 and R2 are 2 relations from A = {p, q, r} to B = {1, 2} where
R1 = {(p,1), (q,2)} and R2 ={(p,1), (q,1), (r,2)}.
(a) Represent R1 and R2 pictorially.
(b) Find the domain for R1.
(c) Is R1 a function? Why?
(d) Is R2 a function? Why?
(e) How many relations between A and B are there?
(f) R3 is the relation on B consisting of ordered pairs (a, b) such that a b. List the
elements of R3.

x−4
(i) p ₒ q (x)
(ii) q −1 (x )
8. Construct a relation on the set A = {a, b, c, d} that is reflexive, symmetric but not
transitive.
