Lecture No (10 – 12)

Solution No 1:
Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

A 1 = {1, 2, 3}
A 2 = {4, 5, 6}
A 3 = {7, 8}

To show that A 1 , A 2 and A 3 is the partition of A, we have to show

1) A 1 ∪A 2 ∪ A 3 = A
2) A 1 ∩A 2 ∩ A 3 = ∅

A 1 ∪ A 2 ∪ A 3 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} = A
A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3 = ∅

Hence {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8}} is a partition of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}.

Solution No 2:
Domain of R = {a, b, c}
Range of R = {8,9}

Solution No 3:
A× B =
{(5, x), (5, y ), (9, x), (9, y )}
B× A =
{( x,5), ( x,9), ( y,5), ( y,9)}

A × B is not equal to B × A. Since order matters in Cartesian product.

Solution No 4:

Solution No 5:

(a) R is not transitive because ( d, b ) ∈ R and ( b, c ) ∈ R but ( d, c ) ∉ R

(b) R is not anti-symmetric because ( b, c ) and ( c, b ) ∈ R but b ≠ c
