Consider the non-empty set consisting of children in a family and a relation R defined as aRb if a is brother of b. Then R is …………..
(A) symmetric but not transitive
(B) transitive but not symmetric
(C) neither symmetric nor transitive
(D) both symmetric and transitive
Answer:
(B) transitive but not symmetric

Explanation:
aRb ⇒ a is brother of b.
This does not mean b is also a brother of a as b can be a sister of a.
Hence, R is not symmetric.
aRb ⇒ a is brother of b
and bRc ⇒ b is a brother of c.
So, a is brother of c.
Hence, R is transitive.

Class 12 Maths Chapter 1 MCQ Question 8.
Let A = {1, 2, 3}. Then number of relations containing (1, 2) and (1, 3) which are reflexive and symmetric but not transitive is ……….
(A) 1
(B) 2
(C) 3
(D) 4
Answer:
(A) 1

Explanation:
The given set is A = (1,2,3}.
The smallest relation containing (1, 2) and (1, 3), which is reflexive and symmetric, but not transitive is given by: .
R = {(1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (3,1)} This is because relation R is reflexive as (1,1), (2,2), (3,3) ∈ R.
Relation R is symmetric since (1,2), (2,1) 6 R and (1,3) , (3,1) ∈ R.
But relation R is not transitive as (3,1), (1,2) ∈ R, but (3,2) = R.
Now, if we add any two pairs (3,2) and (2,3) (or both) to relation R, then relation R will become transitive.
Hence, the total number of desired relations is one.

MCQ Of Maths Class 12 Chapter 1 Question 11.
Let f : R → R be defined by f(x) = \(\frac {1}{x}\) ∀x ∈R. Then f is …………..
(A) one-one
(B) onto
(C) bijective
(D) f is not defined
Answer:
(D) f is not defined

Explanation:
We have, f(x) = \(\frac {1}{x}\) ∀ x ∈ R
For x = 0,f(x) is not defined.
Hence, f(x) is a not defined function.

MCQ Relation And Function Class 12 Question 12.
Which of the following functions from Z into Z are bijections?
(A) f(x) = x³
(B) f(x) = x + 2
(C) f(x) = 2x + l
(D) f(x) = x² + 1
Answer:
(B) f(x) = x + 2

Explanation:
For bijection on Z,f(x) must be one- one and onto.
Function f(x) = x³ + 1 is many-one as f(1) – f(-1)
Range of f(x) = x³ is not Z for x ∈ Z.
Also f(x) = 2x + 1 takes only values of type = 2k + 1 for x ∈k ∈ Z
But f(x) = x + 2 takes all integral values for x ∈ Z
Hence f(x) = x + 2 is bijection of Z.

Relations And Functions MCQ Chapter 1 Question 13.
Let f : R → R be defined as f(x) = x⁴. Choose the correct answer.
(A) f is one-one onto
(B) f is many-one onto
(C) f is one-one but not onto
(D) f is neither one-one nor onto
Answer:
(D) f is neither one-one nor onto

Explanation:
We know that f : R → R is defined as f(x) = x⁴.
Let x,y ∈ R such that f(x) = f(y)
⇒ x⁴ = y⁴
⇒ x = ±y
∴ f(x) = f(y)
does not imply that x = y.
For example, f(l) = f(-1) = 1 ,
∴ f is not one-one.
Consider an element 2 in co-domain R. It is dear that there does not exist any x in domain R such that f(x) = 2.
f is not onto.
Hence, function/is neither one-one nor onto.

Class 12 Maths Ch 1 MCQ Questions Question 14.
Let f : R → R be defined as f(x) = 3x. Choose the correct answer.
(A) f is one-one onto
(B) f is many-one onto
(C) f is one-one but not onto
(D) f is neither one-one nor onto
Answer:
(A) f is one-one onto

Explanation:
f : R →R is defined as f(x) = 3x.
Let x, y e R such that f (x) = f(y)
⇒ 3x = 3y
⇒ x = y
∴ f is one-one.
Also, for any real number y in co-domain R, there exists in R such that f\(\frac {y}{3}\)= 3\(\frac {y}{3}\) = y.
∴ f is onto.
Hence, function f is one-ohe and onto.

Assertion And Reason Based MCQs (1 Mark each)

Directions: In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as.
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Class 12 Relation And Function MCQ Chapter 1 Question 1.
Let W be the set of words in the English dictionary. A relation R is defined on W as R = {(x, y) ∈ W x W such that x and y have at least one letter in common}.
Assertion (A): R is reflexive.
Reason (R): R is symmetric.
Answer:
(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

Explanation:
For any word x ∈ W
x and x have atleast one (all) letter in common
∴ (x, x) ∈ R,∀ x ∈ W R is reflexive

Symmetric: Let (x, y) e R, x, y ∈ W
⇒ x and y have adeast one letter in common
⇒ y and x have adeast one letter in common
⇒ (y, x) ∈ R
∴ R is symmetric.
Hence A is true, R is true; R is not a correct explanation for A.

Class 12 Relations And Functions MCQ Question 2.
Let R be the relation in the set of integers Z given by R = {(a, b): 2 divides a – b}.
Assertion (A): R is a reflexive relation.
Reason (R): A relation is said to be reflexive if x Rx, ∀x ∈ Z.
Answer:
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Explanation:
By definition, a relation in Z is said to be reflexive if x R x, ∀x ∈ Z. So R is true.
a – a = 0 ⇒ 2 divides a – a ⇒ aRa.
Hence R is reflexive and A is true.
R is the correct explanation for A.

MCQ Of Chapter 1 Maths Class 12 Question 3.
Consider the setA = {1,3,5}.
Assertion (A): The number of reflexive relations on set A is 2⁹.
Reason (R): A relation is said to be reflexive if x Rx, ∀ x ∈ Z.
Answer:
(D) A is false and R is True

Explanation:
By definition, a relation in A is said to be reflexive if x Rx, X E A. So R is true.
The number of reflexive relations on a set containing n elements is \(2^{n^{2}-n}\)
Here n = 3.
The number of reflexive relations on a set A = 2^9-3 = 2⁶
Hence A is false.

MCQ On Relation And Function Maths Question 4.
Consider the function f: R → R defined as f(x) = x³
Assertion (A): f(x) is a one-one function.
Reason (R): f(x) is a one-one function if co-domain = range.
Answer:
(C) A is true but R is false

Explanation:
f(x) is a one-one function if
f(x₁) = f(x₂) ⇒ x₁ = x₂
Hence R is false.
Let f(x₁) = (x₂) for some x₁, x₂ ∈ R
⇒ (x₁)³ = (x₂)³
⇒ x₁ = x₂
Hence f(x) is one-one.
Hence A is true.

MCQ Class 12 Maths Chapter 1 Question 5.
A = {1,2,3}, B = {4,5,6,7} and f = {(l,4)(2,5) (3,6)} is a function from A to B.
Assertion (A): f(x) is a one-one function.
Reason (R): f(x) is an onto function.
Answer:
(C) A is true but R is false

Given, A= (1,2,3), B = {4, 5,6,7) and f: A → B
is defined as f = {(1, 4), (2,5), (3, 6)} i.e.,f(1) = 4
f(2) = 5 and f(3) = 6.
It can be seen that the images of distinct elements of A underf are distinct. So,f is one-one.

So, A is true.
Range of f = {4,5,6}.
Co-domain = {4,5,6,7}.
Since co-domain ≠ range, f(x) is not an onto function. Hence R is false.

Relations And Functions Class 12 MCQs Question 6.
Consider the function f: R →R defined as f(x) = \(\frac{x}{x^{2}+1}\)
Assertion (A): f(x) is not one-one.
Reason (R): f(x) is not onto.
Answer:
(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

Explanation:
Given, f : R → R;
f(x) = \(\frac{x}{1+x^{2}}\)
Taking x₁ = 4, x₂ = \(\frac {1}{4}\) ∈ R
f(x₁) = f(4) = \(\frac {4}{17}\)
f(x₂) = f(4) = \(\frac {4}{17}\) (x₁ ≠ x₂)
f(x₂) = f(4) = \(\frac {4}{17}\) (x₁ ≠ x₂)
Í(x) = f
∴ f is not one-one.
A is true.
Let y ∈ R (co-domain)
f(x) = y
⇒ \(\frac{x}{1+x^{2}}\) = y
⇒ y(1 + x²) = x
yx² + y – x = 0
⇒ x = \(\frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1-4 y^{2}}}{2 y}\)
since, x ∈ R,
∴ 1 – 4x²≥0
⇒ – \(\frac {1}{2}\) ≤ y ≤ \(\frac {1}{2}\)
So Range (f) ∈\(\left[-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right]\)
Range (f) ≠ R (Co-domain)
∴ f is not onto.
R is true.
R is not the correct explanation for A.

IV. Read the following text and answer the following questions on the basis of the same:

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.

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
Answer:
(A) Equivalence

Explanation:
Let relation R be defined by
R = {(L₁, L₂): L₁ || L₂ where L₁, L₂ ∈ L}.
R is reflexive, since every line is parallel to itself. Further, (L₁ L₂) ∈ R
⇒ L₁ is parallel to L₂
⇒ L₂ is parallel to L₁
⇒ (L₂, L₁) ∈R
Hence, R is symmetric.
Moreover, (L₁L₂), (L₁, L₃) ∈R
⇒ L₁ is parallel to L₂ and L₂ is parallel to L₃
⇒ L₁is parallel to L₃
⇒ (L₁, L₃) ∈ R
Therefore, R is an equivalence relation

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
Answer:
(A) R is Symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive

Explanation:
R is not reflexive, as a line L₁, can not be perpendicular to itself, i.e., (L₁, L₁,) ☐ R.
R is symmetric as (L₁, L₂) ∈ R
As, L₁ is perpendicular to L₂ and L₂ is perpendicular to L₁ (L₂, L₁) ∈ R
R is not transitive. Indeed, it L₁ is perpendicular to L₂ and L₂ is perpendicular to L₃ then L₁ can never be perpendicular to L₃.
In fact L₁ is parallel to L₃
i.e., (L₁, L₂) ∈ R, (L₂, L₃) ∈ R but (L₁, L₃) ∈ R
i.e., symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive.

Question 3.
The function f : R → R defined by f(x) = x – 4 is ……………

for f(x₁) = f(x₂)
Also, given any real number y in R, there exists y + 4 in R
Such that f(y + 4) = y + 4 – 4 = y Hence,/is onto
Hence, function is both one-one and onto, i.e., bijective.

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
Answer:
(A) R

Explanation:
Range of f (x) is R

Question 5.
Let R = {(L₁, L₂ : L₁ || 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
Answer:
(A) 2x – 2y + 5 = 0

Explanation:
Since, L₁ || L₂
then slope of both the lines should be same.
Slope of L₁ = 1
⇒ Slope of L₂ = 1
And 2x – 2y + 5 = 0
-2y = -2x – 5
y = x + \(\frac {5}{2}\)
Slope of 2x – 2y + 5 = 0 is 1
So, 2x – 2y + 5 = 0 can be taken as L₂

Question 1.
Let f: R → R be defined by f(x) = x² is …………
(A) Neither Surjective nor Injective
(B) Surjective
(C) Injective
(D) Bijective
Answer:
(A) Neither Surjective nor Injective

Explanation:
f : R →R be defined by f(x) = x²
∵ f(-1) = f(1) = 1,
but -1 ≠ 1
f is not injective
Now, -2 ∈ R. But, there does not exist any element x ∈ R such that f(x) = -2 or x² = -2
∴ f is not surjective.
Hence, function f is neither injective nor surjective.

Question 2.
Let f : N → N be defined by f(x) = x² is
(A) Surjective but not Injective
(B) Surjective
(C) Injective
(D) Bijective
Answer:
(C) Injective

Explanation:
f: N -4 N be defined by f(x) = x² for x, y ∈ N,f(x) = f(y)
⇒ x² = y²
⇒ x = y
∴ f is injective
Now; 2 ∈ N,
But, there does not exist any x in n such that f(x) = x² = 2
∴ f is not surjective
Hence, function is injective but not surjective.

Question 3.
Let f: (1, 2, 3, ….} → (1, 4, 9, ….} be defined by f(x) = x² is ………….
(A) Bijective
(B) Surjective but not Injective
(C) Injective but Surjective
(D) Neither Surjective nor Injective
Answer:
(A) Bijective

Explanation:
f : {I, 2, 3,….} → {1,4, 9,…} be defined by f(x) = x²
x₁ ∈ {I, 2, 3,…} and x₂ ∈{1,2,9,….}
f(x₁) = f(x₂)
⇒ x₁² = x₂²
⇒ x₁ = x₂
∴ f is injective
Now, 4 € {1, 4, 9…}, there exist 2 in {1, 2, 3 …} such that f(x) = 2² = 4, Hence, f is surjective Therefore f is bijective.

Question 4.
Let : N → R be defined by f (x) = x². Range of the function among the following is ……………
(A) {1,4,9,16,…}
(B) {1,4,8,9,10,…}
(C) {1,4,9,15,16,…}
(D) {1,4,8,16,…}
Answer:
(A) {1,4,9,16,…}

Explanation:
Range of f = {1,4,9,16,…} ∵N = {1,2,3 }

Question 5.
The function f: Z → Z defined by f(x) = x² is …………..
(A) Neither Injective nor Surjective
(B) Injective
(C) Surjective
(D) Bijective
Answer:
(A) Neither Injective nor Surjective

Explanation:
f : z → z defined by f(x) = x²
So, f(-1) = f(1), but 1 ≠ -1
∴ f is not injective
Now, -2 ∈ Z, but, there docs not exist any element x ∈ z such that
f(x) = -2
or x² = -2
∴ f is not surjective
Hence ,f is neither injective nor surjective.
