Let S be the set of the first 11 natural numbers. Then the number of elements in $A=\{B \subseteq S: n(B) \geqslant 2$ and the product of all elements of $B$ is even $\}$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
Explanation:
Let $S=\{1,2,\dots,11\}$. The product of all elements of $B$ is even iff $B$ contains at least one even number.
Evens in $S$: $5$ ($2,4,6,8,10$)
Odds in $S$: $6$
Number of subsets containing at least one even:
$ 2^{11}-2^{6}=2048-64=1984 $
(we subtract the subsets made only of odds).
Now enforce $n(B)\ge 2$: subtract the 5 singleton subsets $\{2\},\{4\},\{6\},\{8\},\{10\}$.
$ 1984-5=1979 $
$ \boxed{1979} $
Let A = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. Let R be a relation on A defined by (x, y) ∈ R if and only if max{x, y} ∈ {3, 4}. Then among the statements

and B = { ($\alpha, \beta$) $\in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}$ : 16($\alpha$ - $2)^2 $+ 9($\beta$ - $6)^2$ $\leq 144$ }.
Then

neither A $\subset$ B nor B $\subset$ A

Let $\mathrm{A}=\{-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3\}$ and R be a relation on A defined by $x \mathrm{R} y$ if and only if $2 x-y \in\{0,1\}$. Let $l$ be the number of elements in $R$.

Consider the sets $A=\left\{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}: x^2+y^2=25\right\}, B=\left\{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}: x^2+9 y^2=144\right\}$, $C=\left\{(x, y) \in \mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z}: x^2+y^2 \leq 4\right\}$ and $D=A \cap B$. The total number of one-one functions from the set $D$ to the set $C$ is:
Let $A=\{-2,-1,0,1,2,3\}$. Let R be a relation on $A$ defined by $x \mathrm{R} y$ if and only if $y=\max \{x, 1\}$. Let $l$ be the number of elements in R . Let $m$ and $n$ be the minimum number of elements required to be added in R to make it reflexive and symmetric relations, respectively. Then $l+m+n$ is equal to

Let A be the set of all functions $f: \mathbf{Z} \rightarrow \mathbf{Z}$ and R be a relation on A such that $\mathrm{R}=\{(\mathrm{f}, \mathrm{g}): f(0)=\mathrm{g}(1)$ and $f(1)=\mathrm{g}(0)\}$. Then R is :
Let $\mathrm{S}=\mathbf{N} \cup\{0\}$. Define a relation R from S to $\mathbf{R}$ by :
$ \mathrm{R}=\left\{(x, y): \log _{\mathrm{e}} y=x \log _{\mathrm{e}}\left(\frac{2}{5}\right), x \in \mathrm{~S}, y \in \mathbf{R}\right\} . $
Then, the sum of all the elements in the range of $R$ is equal to :
Define a relation R on the interval $ \left[0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right) $ by $ x $ R $ y $ if and only if $ \sec^2x - \tan^2y = 1 $. Then R is :

The relation $R=\{(x, y): x, y \in \mathbb{Z}$ and $x+y$ is even $\}$ is:
Let $\mathrm{A}=\left\{x \in(0, \pi)-\left\{\frac{\pi}{2}\right\}: \log _{(2 /\pi)}|\sin x|+\log _{(2 / \pi)}|\cos x|=2\right\}$ and $\mathrm{B}=\{x \geqslant 0: \sqrt{x}(\sqrt{x}-4)-3|\sqrt{x}-2|+6=0\}$. Then $\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A} \cup \mathrm{B})$ is equal to :
Let $\mathrm{X}=\mathbf{R} \times \mathbf{R}$. Define a relation R on X as :
$\left(a_1, b_1\right) R\left(a_2, b_2\right) \Leftrightarrow b_1=b_2$
Statement I: $\quad \mathrm{R}$ is an equivalence relation.
Statement II : For some $(\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}) \in \mathrm{X}$, the $\operatorname{set} \mathrm{S}=\{(x, y) \in \mathrm{X}:(x, y) \mathrm{R}(\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b})\}$ represents a line parallel to $y=x$.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Let $\mathrm{A}=\{(x, y) \in \mathbf{R} \times \mathbf{R}:|x+y| \geqslant 3\}$ and $\mathrm{B}=\{(x, y) \in \mathbf{R} \times \mathbf{R}:|x|+|y| \leq 3\}$. If $\mathrm{C}=\{(x, y) \in \mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B}: x=0$ or $y=0\}$, then $\sum_{(x, y) \in \mathrm{C}}|x+y|$ is :
Let $\mathrm{R}=\{(1,2),(2,3),(3,3)\}$ be a relation defined on the set $\{1,2,3,4\}$. Then the minimum number of elements, needed to be added in R so that R becomes an equivalence relation, is:
Let $A=\{1,2,3, \ldots, 10\}$ and $B=\left\{\frac{m}{n}: m, n \in A, m< n\right.$ and $\left.\operatorname{gcd}(m, n)=1\right\}$. Then $n(B)$ is equal to :
The number of non-empty equivalence relations on the set $\{1,2,3\}$ is :
The number of relations on the set $A=\{1,2,3\}$, containing at most 6 elements including $(1,2)$, which are reflexive and transitive but not symmetric, is __________.
Explanation:
Since relation needs to be reflexive the ordered pairs $(1,1),(2,2),(3,3)$ need to be there and $(1,2)$ is also to be included.
Let's call $R_0=\{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(1,2)\}$ the base relation.
$\because A \times A$ contain $3 \times 3=9$ ordered pairs, remaining 5 ordered are
$2,1),(1,3),(3,1),(2,3),(3,2)$
We have to add at most two ordered pairs to $R_0$ such that resulting relation is reflexive, transitive but not symmetric.
Following are the only possibilities.
$R=R_0 U\{(1,3)\}$
OR $R_0 U\{(3,2)\}$
OR $R_0 U\{(1,3),(3,1)\}$
OR $R_0 U\{(1,3),(3,2)\}$
OR $R_0 U\{(3,1),(3,2)\}$
For $n \geq 2$, let $S_n$ denote the set of all subsets of $\{1,2, \ldots, n\}$ with no two consecutive numbers. For example $\{1,3,5\} \in S_6$, but $\{1,2,4\} \notin S_6$. Then $n\left(S_5\right)$ is equal to ________
Explanation:
To find $ n(S_5) $, which is the number of subsets of $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$ with no consecutive numbers, we start by enumerating these subsets.
Let's denote the set $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$ as $A$. The subsets of $A$ that meet the criteria are:
The empty set: $\{\}$
Single-element sets: $\{1\}$, $\{2\}$, $\{3\}$, $\{4\}$, $\{5\}$
Two-element sets with no consecutive numbers: $\{1, 3\}$, $\{1, 4\}$, $\{1, 5\}$, $\{2, 4\}$, $\{2, 5\}$, $\{3, 5\}$
Three-element set with no consecutive numbers: $\{1, 3, 5\}$
Counting these subsets, we have:
1 subset with zero elements
5 subsets with one element
6 subsets with two elements
1 subset with three elements
Adding these counts, there are $1 + 5 + 6 + 1 = 13$ subsets in total.
Thus, $ n(S_5) = 13 $.
Let $S=\left\{p_1, p_2 \ldots, p_{10}\right\}$ be the set of first ten prime numbers. Let $A=S \cup P$, where $P$ is the set of all possible products of distinct elements of $S$. Then the number of all ordered pairs $(x, y), x \in S$, $y \in A$, such that $x$ divides $y$, is ________ .
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & \text { Let } \frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{x}}=\lambda \\ & \mathrm{y}=\lambda \mathrm{x} \\ & =10 \times\left({ }^9 \mathrm{C}_0+{ }^9 \mathrm{C}_1+{ }^9 \mathrm{C}_2+{ }^9 \mathrm{C}_3+\ldots .+{ }^9 \mathrm{C}_9\right) \\ & =10 \times\left(2^9\right) \\ & 10 \times 512 \\ & 5120 \end{aligned}$
Let $A=\{1,2,3\}$. The number of relations on $A$, containing $(1,2)$ and $(2,3)$, which are reflexive and transitive but not symmetric, is _________.
Explanation:
Transitivity
$(1,2) \in \mathrm{R},(2,3) \in \mathrm{R} \Rightarrow(1,3) \in \mathrm{R}$
For reflexive $(1,1),(2,2)(3,3) \in R$
Now $(2,1),(3,2),(3,1)$
$(3,1)$ cannot be taken
(1) $(2,1)$ taken and $(3,2)$ not taken
(2) $(3,2)$ taken and $(2,1)$ not taken
(3) Both not taken
therefore 3 relations are possible.
Let $A=\{2,3,6,8,9,11\}$ and $B=\{1,4,5,10,15\}$. Let $R$ be a relation on $A \times B$ defined by $(a, b) R(c, d)$ if and only if $3 a d-7 b c$ is an even integer. Then the relation $R$ is
Let $\mathrm{A}=\{1,2,3,4,5\}$. Let $\mathrm{R}$ be a relation on $\mathrm{A}$ defined by $x \mathrm{R} y$ if and only if $4 x \leq 5 \mathrm{y}$. Let $\mathrm{m}$ be the number of elements in $\mathrm{R}$ and $\mathrm{n}$ be the minimum number of elements from $\mathrm{A} \times \mathrm{A}$ that are required to be added to R to make it a symmetric relation. Then m + n is equal to :
Let $A=\{n \in[100,700] \cap \mathrm{N}: n$ is neither a multiple of 3 nor a multiple of 4$\}$. Then the number of elements in $A$ is
Let the relations $R_1$ and $R_2$ on the set $X=\{1,2,3, \ldots, 20\}$ be given by $R_1=\{(x, y): 2 x-3 y=2\}$ and $R_2=\{(x, y):-5 x+4 y=0\}$. If $M$ and $N$ be the minimum number of elements required to be added in $R_1$ and $R_2$, respectively, in order to make the relations symmetric, then $M+N$ equals
Let a relation $\mathrm{R}$ on $\mathrm{N} \times \mathbb{N}$ be defined as: $\left(x_1, y_1\right) \mathrm{R}\left(x_2, y_2\right)$ if and only if $x_1 \leq x_2$ or $y_1 \leq y_2$. Consider the two statements:
(I) $\mathrm{R}$ is reflexive but not symmetric.
(II) $\mathrm{R}$ is transitive
Then which one of the following is true?
If R is the smallest equivalence relation on the set $\{1,2,3,4\}$ such that $\{(1,2),(1,3)\} \subset \mathrm{R}$, then the number of elements in $\mathrm{R}$ is __________.
Let $R$ be a relation on $Z \times Z$ defined by $(a, b) R(c, d)$ if and only if $a d-b c$ is divisible by 5. Then $R$ is
Let $A$ and $B$ be two finite sets with $m$ and $n$ elements respectively. The total number of subsets of the set $A$ is 56 more than the total number of subsets of $B$. Then the distance of the point $P(m, n)$ from the point $Q(-2,-3)$ is :
$\mathrm{R}=\{(\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}): \mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B} \neq \phi ; \mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B} \in \mathrm{M}\}$ is :
Let $A=\{2,3,6,7\}$ and $B=\{4,5,6,8\}$. Let $R$ be a relation defined on $A \times B$ by $(a_1, b_1) R(a_2, b_2)$ if and only if $a_1+a_2=b_1+b_2$. Then the number of elements in $R$ is __________.
Explanation:
To find the number of elements in the relation $R$ defined on $A \times B$, we need to determine all pairs $((a_1, b_1), (a_2, b_2))$ such that $a_1 + a_2 = b_1 + b_2$, where $a_1, a_2 \in A$ and $b_1, b_2 \in B$.
First, consider all possible sums of pairs from set $A$ and set $B$.
Possible sums from set $A = \{2, 3, 6, 7\}$:
- $2 + 2 = 4$
- $2 + 3 = 5$
- $2 + 6 = 8$
- $2 + 7 = 9$
- $3 + 2 = 5$
- $3 + 3 = 6$
- $3 + 6 = 9$
- $3 + 7 = 10$
- $6 + 2 = 8$
- $6 + 3 = 9$
- $6 + 6 = 12$
- $6 + 7 = 13$
- $7 + 2 = 9$
- $7 + 3 = 10$
- $7 + 6 = 13$
- $7 + 7 = 14$
Possible sums from set $B = \{4, 5, 6, 8\}$:
- $4 + 4 = 8$
- $4 + 5 = 9$
- $4 + 6 = 10$
- $4 + 8 = 12$
- $5 + 4 = 9$
- $5 + 5 = 10$
- $5 + 6 = 11$
- $5 + 8 = 13$
- $6 + 4 = 10$
- $6 + 5 = 11$
- $6 + 6 = 12$
- $6 + 8 = 14$
- $8 + 4 = 12$
- $8 + 5 = 13$
- $8 + 6 = 14$
- $8 + 8 = 16$
Now, identify the common sums from both sets:
Common sums: $8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14$
For each common sum, count the pairs from set $A$ and set $B$ that produce these sums:
- Sum = 8: From $A$: {(2,6), (6,2)} - 2 pairs; From $B$: {(4,4)} - 1 pair; Hence, 2 * 1 = 2 pairs
- Sum = 9: From $A$: {(2,7), (3,6), (6,3), (7,2)} - 4 pairs; From $B$: {(4,5), (5,4)} - 2 pairs; Hence, 4 * 2 = 8 pairs
- Sum = 10: From $A$: {(3,7), (7,3)} - 2 pairs; From $B$: {(4,6), (5,5), (6,4)} - 3 pairs; Hence, 2 * 3 = 6 pairs
- Sum = 12: From $A$: {(6,6)} - 1 pair; From $B$: {(4,8), (6,6), (8,4)} - 3 pairs; Hence, 1 * 3 = 3 pairs
- Sum = 13: From $A$: {(6,7), (7,6)} - 2 pairs; From $B$: {(5,8), (8,5)} - 2 pairs; Hence, 2 * 2 = 4 pairs
- Sum = 14: From $A$: {(7,7)} - 1 pair; From $B$: {(6,8), (8,6)} - 2 pairs; Hence, 1 * 2 = 2 pairs
Adding all these, we get the number of elements in the relation $R$:
2 + 8 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 2 = 25
Thus, the number of elements in $R$ is 25.
In a survey of 220 students of a higher secondary school, it was found that at least 125 and at most 130 students studied Mathematics; at least 85 and at most 95 studied Physics; at least 75 and at most 90 studied Chemistry; 30 studied both Physics and Chemistry; 50 studied both Chemistry and Mathematics; 40 studied both Mathematics and Physics and 10 studied none of these subjects. Let $m$ and $n$ respectively be the least and the most number of students who studied all the three subjects. Then $\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n}$ is equal to ___________.
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & 125 \leq \mathrm{m}+90-\mathrm{x} \leq 130 \\\\ & 85 \leq \mathrm{P}+70-\mathrm{x} \leq 95 \\\\ & 75 \leq \mathrm{C}+80-\mathrm{x} \leq 90 \\\\ & \mathrm{~m}+\mathrm{P}+\mathrm{C}+120-2 \mathrm{x}=210 \\\\ & \Rightarrow 15 \leq \mathrm{x} \leq 45 \& 30-\mathrm{x} \geq 0 \\\\ & \Rightarrow 15 \leq \mathrm{x} \leq 30 \\\\ & 30+15=45\end{aligned}$
$R_1=\{(a, b): b$ is divisible by $a\}$
$R_2=\{(a, b): a$ is an integral multiple of $b\}$.
Then, number of elements in $R_1-R_2$ is equal to _____________.
Explanation:
To determine the number of elements in $R_1 - R_2$, let's first articulate the meaning of both relations on set $A = \{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 20\}$:
$R_1$ includes pairs $(a, b)$ where $b$ is divisible by $a$. This includes pairs like $(1,1), (1,2), \ldots, (1,20)$ for $1$; similar series for $2$ up to $(2,20)$ (excluding odd numbers); for $3$ up to $(3,18)$; and so on, reflecting the divisibility condition.
$\begin{aligned} & R_1:\left\{\begin{array}{l}(1,1),(1,2) \ldots,(1,20), \\ (2,2),(2,4) \ldots,(2,20), \\ (3,3),(3,6) \ldots,(3,18), \\ (4,4),(4,8) \ldots,(4,20), \\ (5,5)(5,10) \ldots,(5,20), \\ (6,6),(6,12),(6,18),(7,7),(7,14), \\ (8,8),(8,16),(9,9),(9,18)(10,10), \\ (10,20),(11,11),(12,12) \ldots,(20,20)\end{array}\right\} \\\\ & n\left(R_1\right)=66\end{aligned}$
$R_2$ consists of pairs $(a, b)$ where $a$ is an integral multiple of $b$. Essentially, this relationship is the reverse of $R_1$. However, for the essence of $R_1 - R_2$, the key overlap comes with pairs where $a = b$, since those are the pairs that clearly reflect both conditions identically (i.e., a number is always divisible by itself, and it is always a multiple of itself). There are 20 such pairs corresponding to each integer in $A$ from 1 to 20, resulting in the common elements between $R_1$ and $R_2$ (the intersection $R_1 \cap R_2$) being 20 pairs.
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{R}_1 \cap \mathrm{R}_2=\{(1,1),(2,2), \ldots(20,20)\} \\\\ & \mathrm{n}\left(\mathrm{R}_1 \cap \mathrm{R}_2\right)=20 \end{aligned}$
The difference $R_1 - R_2$ seeks elements present in $R_1$ but not in $R_2$. Given that $R_1$ and $R_2$ share 20 elements that are identical, to find $R_1 - R_2$, we subtract these 20 common elements from the total in $R_1$, resulting in $66 - 20 = 46$ pairs.
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{n}\left(\mathrm{R}_1-\mathrm{R}_2\right)=\mathrm{n}\left(\mathrm{R}_1\right)-\mathrm{n}\left(\mathrm{R}_1 \cap \mathrm{R}_2\right) \\\\ & =\mathrm{n}\left(\mathrm{R}_1\right)-20 \\\\ & =66-20 \\\\ & \mathrm{R}_1-\mathrm{R}_2=46 \text { Pair }\end{aligned}$
Let $A=\{1,2,3, \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots, 100\}$. Let $R$ be a relation on $\mathrm{A}$ defined by $(x, y) \in R$ if and only if $2 x=3 y$. Let $R_1$ be a symmetric relation on $A$ such that $R \subset R_1$ and the number of elements in $R_1$ is $\mathrm{n}$. Then, the minimum value of $\mathrm{n}$ is _________.
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{R}=\{(3,2),(6,4),(9,6),(12,8), \ldots \ldots \ldots .(99,66)\} \\ & \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{R})=33 \\ & \therefore 66 \end{aligned}$
Let $A=\{1,2,3,4\}$ and $R=\{(1,2),(2,3),(1,4)\}$ be a relation on $\mathrm{A}$. Let $\mathrm{S}$ be the equivalence relation on $\mathrm{A}$ such that $R \subset S$ and the number of elements in $\mathrm{S}$ is $\mathrm{n}$. Then, the minimum value of $n$ is __________.
Explanation:
$S$ is equivalence for $R < S$ and reflexive
$ \{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4)\} $
for symmetric
$ \{(2,1),(4,1),(3,2)\} $
for transitive
$ \{(1,3),(3,1),(4,2),(2,4)\} $
Now set $S=\{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(1,2)$, $(2, 3),(1,4),(4,3),(3,4),(2,1),(4,1),(3,2),(1,3),(3$, 1), $(4,2),(2,4)\}$
$ n(S)=16 $
The number of symmetric relations defined on the set $\{1,2,3,4\}$ which are not reflexive is _________.
Explanation:
To find the number of symmetric relations on the set $\{1,2,3,4\}$ that are not reflexive, we first calculate the total number of symmetric relations and then subtract the count of those that are both symmetric and reflexive.
A symmetric relation involves pairs where if a pair (x, y) is in the relation, then (y, x) is also in the relation. For a set with $n$ elements, there are $\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$ slots in the relation matrix that can independently be occupied or not, corresponding to a total of $2^{\frac{n(n+1)}{2}}$ possible symmetric relations.
A relation is reflexive if every element is related to itself, requiring all diagonal slots of the relation matrix (n of them) to be filled. The remaining $\frac{n(n-1)}{2}$ slots can be filled in any manner, leading to $2^{\frac{n(n-1)}{2}}$ reflexive (and possibly symmetric) relations.
For the set $\{1,2,3,4\}$ ($n=4$):
- Total symmetric relations: $2^{\frac{4(4+1)}{2}} = 2^{10} = 1024$
- Symmetric and reflexive relations: $2^{\frac{4(4-1)}{2}} = 2^{6} = 64$
Therefore, the number of symmetric relations that are not reflexive: $1024 - 64 = 960$.
Let $\mathrm{A}=\{1,3,4,6,9\}$ and $\mathrm{B}=\{2,4,5,8,10\}$. Let $\mathrm{R}$ be a relation defined on $\mathrm{A} \times \mathrm{B}$ such that $\mathrm{R}=\left\{\left(\left(a_{1}, b_{1}\right),\left(a_{2}, b_{2}\right)\right): a_{1} \leq b_{2}\right.$ and $\left.b_{1} \leq a_{2}\right\}$. Then the number of elements in the set R is :
An organization awarded 48 medals in event 'A', 25 in event 'B' and 18 in event 'C'. If these medals went to total 60 men and only five men got medals in all the three events, then, how many received medals in exactly two of three events?
Let $\mathrm{A}=\{2,3,4\}$ and $\mathrm{B}=\{8,9,12\}$. Then the number of elements in the relation $\mathrm{R}=\left\{\left(\left(a_{1}, \mathrm{~b}_{1}\right),\left(a_{2}, \mathrm{~b}_{2}\right)\right) \in(A \times B, A \times B): a_{1}\right.$ divides $\mathrm{b}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{a}_{2}$ divides $\left.\mathrm{b}_{1}\right\}$ is :
