Relations and Functions
Assertion & Reason Type Questions
Directions: In the following questions, each question contains Assertion (A) and
Reason (R). Each question has 4 choices (a), (b), (c) and (d) out of which only one is
correct. The choices are:
a. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct
explanation of Assertion (A).
b. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct
explanation of Assertion (A).
c. Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
d. Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.
Q1. Assertion (A): The relation R in a set
A = {1, 2, 3, 4} defined by R = {(x, y) : 3x − y = 0}
have the Domain = {1, 2, 3, 4}
and Range = {3, 6, 9, 12}.
Reason (R): Domain and range of the relation (R) is respectively the set of all first and
second entries of the distinct ordered pair of the relation.
Answer : (a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct
explanation of Assertion (A).
Q2. Assertion (A): If R is a relation defined on the set of natural numbers N such that R
= {(x, y): x, y ∈ N and 2x + y = 24}, then R is an equivalence relation.
Reason (R): A relation is said to be an equivalence relation if it is reflexive, symmetric
and transitive.
Answer : (d) Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.
Q3. Assertion (A): If the relation R defined in A = {1,2,3} by aRb, if | a2 - b2 | ≤ 5, then
R-1 = R.
Reason (R): For above relation, domain of R-1 = Range of R.
Answer : (b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the
correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Q4. Assertion (A): A function y = ƒ(x) defined by x² - cot-1 y = л, then domain of ƒ(x) = R.
Reason (R): cot-1 y ∈ (0, π).
Answer : (d) Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.
Q5.
Answer : (b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the
correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Q6.
Answer : (a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct
explanation of Assertion (A).
Q7. Assertion (A): The relation R given by R = {(1, 3), (4, 2), (2, 4), (2, 3), (3, 1)} on a set
A = {1, 2, 3, 4} is not symmetric.
Reason (R): For symmetric relation, R = R-1.
Answer : (a) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct
explanation of Assertion (A).
Q8. Assertion (A): The relation ƒ : {1,2,3, 4} → {x,y,z,p} defined by
ƒ = {(1, x), (2, y), (3,z)} is a bijective function.
Reason (R): The function ƒ : {1,2,3} → {x,y,z,p} such that
ƒ = {(1, x), (2, y), (3, z)} is one-one. (CBSE SQP 2023-24)
Answer : (d) Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.
