Group - A
A. Choose the correct answer from the given choices:
1. If A 1, 2,3 is a given set and the 5. If A be a non-void set of children in a
family then the relation “a is a brother of
relation R on the set A is defined as
b” on A is
: R (1,1),(1, 2), (2,1) then R is a) reflexive
(a) only reflexive b) symmetric
(b) only symmetric c) transitive
d) none of these
(c) only transitive
(d) transitiue and symmetric 6. Let A 1, 2,3, 4,5 then the relation
2. If the relation R on the set A 1, 2,3 is R (1,1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4),(1, 2), (2,3)
defined by R (1,1), (2, 2), (3,3) then is
R is a) reflexive
a) reflexive but not symmetric b) symmetric
b) reflexive but not transitive c) transitive
c) transitive but not reflexive d) none of these
d) an equivalence relation 7. Let R be a relation on a finite set A
having ‘n’ elements, then the number of
3. The relation R on the set A 1, 2,3
relations on A is
defined by R (1, 2), (2,3), (1,3) then R a) 2n b) 2
2n
is
c) n2 d) nn
a) only reflexive
b) only symmetric 8. If R is a relation from a finite set A having
c) only transitive m elements to a finite set B having n
elements, then the number of relations
d) none of these
from A to B is
4. The relation R on the set A 1, 2,3 a) 2mn b) 2mn 1
defined by R (1, 2),(2,1), (2,3),(3, 2) c) 2m n d) mn
then R is 9. Let R be a relation on the set A such
a) only reflexive that R R 1 , then R is
b) only symmetric
a) reflexive b) symmetric
c) only transitive
d) none of these c) transitive d) none of these

10. Let A 1, 2,3 and let the relation 16. If A a, b, c, d then the relation
R (1, 2),(2,3) . R (a, b), (b, a ), (a, a) on A is
Then the minimum number of order pairs a) symmetric and transitive only
when introduced to R to make of an
equivalence relation is b) reflexive and transitive only
a) 10 b) 8 c) symmetric only
c) 7 d) 4 d) transitive only
11. The relation 17. If A a, b, c, d and R {( a, a ), ( a, b),
R ( x, y ) : x 2 y 2 1 when x, y R ( a, c ), (b, c ), (b, d ), (c, d ), ( d , a )}
a) reflexive b) symmetric be a relation on A, then R is
c) transitive d) anti symmetric a) reflexive b) symmetric
12. The relation “is a subset of” on the power c) transitive d) none of these
set P(A) of a set A is
a) symmetric 18. If A 1, 2,3 then the relation R on A
b) anti symmetric
defined by R {(2,3), (3,1), (2,1) is
c) equivalence relation
a) symmetric only
d) none of these
13. The relation on R defined on N an b) transitive only
aRb a divides b is c) symmetric and transitive only
a) reflexive but not symmetric d) none of these
b) symmetric but not transitive
19. If R be the largest equivalence relation
c) symmetric and transitive on a set A and S is any relation on A
d) none of these then
14. If R be a relation on the set A 1, 2,3 is a) RS
given by R (1,1), (2, 2),(3,3) then R is b) S R
a) only reflexive c) RS
b) only symmetric d) none of these
c) only transitive
20. If R is a relation on the set
d) all the three above
A {1, 2,3, 4,5, 6, 7,8,9} given by
15. If A 1, 2,3 , B 1,3,5 and if R be xRy y 3 x then R
relation from A to B given by
R (1,3),(2,5), (3,3, then R 1 is a) (3,1), (6, 2), (8, 2), (9, 3)
a) (1,3), (2,5),(5,3) b) (3,1), (6, 2), (9, 3)
b) (3,3), (3,1), (5, 2)
c) (3,1), (2, 6), (3, 9)
c) (1,5), (2,3),(5, 2)
d) None of these d) (1,3), (2, 6), (3, 9)
