Let L be the set of all lines in XY plane and R be the relation in L defined as R = {(L1 , L2 ) : L1 is parallel to L2 }. Show that R is an equivalence relation. Find the set of all lines related to the line y = 2x + 4.



Class 12, NCERT Chapter 1,  Exercise 1.1, Q14


Line L is parallel to itself. This means L is parallel to L.
So, (L1, L2)∈R
So, R is reflexive. 
Let (L1, L2) ∈R
Then L1 is parallel to L2. So, L2 is parallel to L1.
This means, (L2, L1) ∈ R
So R is symmetric.
Let (L1, L2) ∈ R and (L2, L3) ∈ R
So, L1 is parallel to L2 and L2 is parallel to L3.
This means L1 is parallel to L3
So R is transitive.
So the R is equivalence Relation.

Find the set of all lines related to the line y = 2x + 4.
R = {(Li, L2) : Li is parallel to L2}
Set of all lines related to y = 2x + 4,
is set of all lines that are parallel to y = 2x + 4.

Let equation of line parallel to y = 2x + 4 be
 y = mx + c , where m is the slope of line

Since y = 2x + 4 & y = mx + c are parallel,
Slope of (y = 2x + 4) = Slope of (y = 2x + 4)
2 = m i.e. m = 2                                                                   (Slope of y = 2x + 4 is 2)

Hence, the required line is
 y = mx + c
i.e.y=2x+c, where c ∈ R.

Show that the relation R in the set A of all the books in a library of a college, given by R = {(x, y) : x and y have same number of pages} is an equivalence relation.

Class 12, NCERT Chapter 1,  Exercise 1.1, Q7 Set  A  is the set of all books in the library of a college. Given, R = { x ,  y ):  x  and  y  have the same number of pages} Now, R is reflexive since ( x ,  x ) ∈ R as  x  and  x  has the same number of pages. Let ( x ,  y ) ∈ R  ⇒  x  and  y  have the same number of pages. ⇒  y  and  x  have the same number of pages. ⇒ ( y ,  x ) ∈ R ∴R is symmetric. Now, let ( x ,  y ) ∈R and ( y ,  z ) ∈ R. ⇒  x  and  y  and have the same number of pages and  y  and  z  have the same number of pages. ⇒  x  and  z  have the same number of pages. ⇒ ( x ,  z ) ∈ R ∴R is transitive. Hence, R is an equivalence relation.

Let A be the set of all 50 students of Class X in a school. Let f : A → N be function defined by f(x) = roll number of the student x. Show that f is one-one but not onto.

Class 12, NCERT Chapter 1,  Example7 No two different students in the class can have the same roll number. Therefore, f must be one-one. We can assume without any loss of generality that roll numbers of students are from 1 to 50. This implies that 51,52,53... in N is not roll number of any student of the class, so that 51,52,53...  can not be an image of any element of X under f. Hence, f is not onto.

Let f : N → N be defined by f (n) ={ (n+1)/2, if n is odd and (n-1)/2, if n is even, for all n ∈ N.State whether the function f is bijective. Justify your answer

Class 12, NCERT Chapter 1,  Exercise 1.2, Q9 Thus it is bijective.
