Question Students of Grade 9, planned to plant saplings along straight lines, parallel to each other to one side of the playground ensuring that they had enough play area. Let us assume that they planted one of the rows of the saplings along the line 𝑦 = 𝑥 − 4. Let L be the set of all lines which are parallel on the ground and R be a relation on L. Answer the following using the above information.
Question 1 Let relation R be defined by R = {(L1, L2) : L1 ∥ L2 where L1, L2 ∈ L} then R is______ relation (a) Equivalence (b) Only reflexive (c) Not reflexive (d) Symmetric but not transitive
R = {(L1, L2) : L1 ∥ L2 where L1, L2 ∈ L}
Check Reflexive
Since L1 and L1 are always parallel to each other
So, (L1, L1) ∈ R for all L1
∴ R is reflexive
Check symmetric
If L1 and L2 are parallel to each other
Then, L2 and L1 are also parallel to each other
Thus (L1, L2) ∈ R , and (L2, L1) ∈ R
∴ R is symmetric
Check transitive
To check whether transitive or not,
If (x, y) ∈ R & (y, z) ∈ R , then (x, z) ∈ R
If L1 and L2 are parallel to each other,
And L2 and L3 are parallel to each other
Then, L1 and L3 will also be parallel to each other
Thus, for all values of L1 , L2 , L3
(L1, L2) ∈ R & (L2, L3) ∈ R , then (L1, L3) ∈ R
∴ R is transitive
Since R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive
∴ R is an Equivalence relation
So, the correct answer is (a)
Question 2 Let R = {(L1, L2) ∶ L1 ⊥ L2 where L1, L2 ∈ L} which of the following is true? (a) R is Symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive (b) R is Reflexive and transitive but not symmetric (c) R is Reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive (d) R is an Equivalence relation
R = {(L1, L2) : L1 ⊥ L2 where L1, L2 ∈ L}
Check Reflexive
Since a line can never be perpendicular to itself
∴ (L1, L1) ∉ R for all L1
∴ R is not reflexive
Check symmetric
If L1 and L2 are perpendicular to each other
Then, L2 and L1 are also perpendicular to each other
Thus (L1, L2) ∈ R , and (L2, L1) ∈ R
∴ R is symmetric
Check transitive
To check whether transitive or not,
If (x, y) ∈ R & (y, z) ∈ R , then (x, z) ∈ R
If L1 and L2 are perpendicular to each other,
And L2 and L3 are also perpendicular to each other
Then, L1 and L3 are not perpendicular to each other
∴ R is not transitive
Thus, R is Symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive
So, the correct answer is (b)
Question 3 The function f: R → R defined by 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 − 4 is___________ (a) Bijective (b) Surjective but not injective (c) Injective but not Surjective (d) Neither Surjective nor Injective
A linear function, defined from R to R is always one-one and onto
∴ 𝑓(𝑥) is Bijective
So, the correct answer is (a)
Question 4 Let 𝑓: 𝑅 → 𝑅 be defined by 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 − 4. Then the range of 𝑓(𝑥) is ________ (a) R (b) Z (c) W (d) Q
For 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 − 4
For all real values of x, we can get a real number 𝑓(𝑥)
∴ Range of 𝑓(𝑥) is R
So, the correct answer is (a)
Question 5 Let R = {(L1, L2 ) : L1 is parallel to L2 and L1 : y = x – 4} then which of the following can be taken as L2 ? (a) 2x – 2y + 5 = 0 (b) 2x + y = 5 (c) 2x + 2y + 7 = 0 (d) x + y = 7
Since L2 must be parallel to L1,
their slope must be equal
Slope of L1: y = x – 4 is = 1
Checking Slope of given options
Slope of Part (a): 2x – 2y + 5 = 0
Slope = 1
Slope of Part (b): 2x + y = 5
Slope = −2
Slope of Part (c): 2x + 2y + 7 = 0
Slope = −1
Slope of Part (d): x + y = 7
Slope = −1
Since slope of option (a) is same as slope of L1
So, the correct answer is (a)
