Note: Following are the problems which are required to be done by the students for an overall
understanding of the topics.
1. Prove the identity by Venn diagram that
(a) 𝐴 ∩ (𝐵 − 𝐶) ⊂ 𝐴 − (𝐵 ∩ 𝐶) (b) 𝐴 − (𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) = 𝐴 − 𝐵.
2. For any three sets 𝐴, 𝐵, 𝐶 prove that (without using Venn diagram)
(a) 𝐴 ∪ (𝐵 ∩ 𝐶) = (𝐴 ∪ 𝐵) ∩ (𝐴 ∪ 𝐶)
(b) 𝐴 − (𝐵 ∩ 𝐶) = (𝐴 − 𝐵) ∪ (𝐴 − 𝐶)
3. Show that the set of rational numbers 𝑄 countable set.
4. Define an equivalence relation on a set. Let 𝐴 = {1,2,3,4} give an example of 𝑅 on 𝐴 which is
(a) Neither symmetric nor antisymmetric.
(b) Transitive and reflexive but not antisymmetric
(c) Antisymmetric and reflexive but not transitive.
5. Prove that the relation 𝑅 defined on the set of positive integers, (𝑥, 𝑦) ∈ 𝑅 if 𝑥 − 𝑦 is divisible by 3 is
an equivalence relation.
6. Show that the mapping 𝑓: 𝑄 → 𝑄defined by 𝑓(𝑥) = 5𝑥 + 2, 𝑥 ∈ 𝑄 is a bijective mapping. Hence
find𝑓 −1 .
7. Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 and 𝑔(𝑥) = 2𝑥 , then show that the solution set of the equation 𝑓𝑜𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑔𝑜𝑓(𝑥) is
𝑥 = 0, 2.
8. Let 𝑓: 𝑅 → 𝑅 and𝑔: 𝑅 → 𝑅, where 𝑅 is the set of real number be given by
𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝑥 and 𝑔(𝑥) = 3𝑥 2 . Show that 𝑔𝑜𝑓 ≠ 𝑓𝑜𝑔.
9. Show that the function 𝑓: 𝑅 → 𝑅 such that 𝑓(𝑥) = |𝑥| is neither one-one nor onto.
10. Find the domain and range of the real function 𝑓(𝑥) = √(9 − 𝑥 2 ).
