Let A = {3, 5} and B = {7, 11}. Let R = {(a, b): a ∈ A, b ∈ B, a-b is odd}. Show that R is an empty relation from A into B. |
Answer» Given as A = {3, 5} and B = {7, 11} R = {(a, b): a ∈ A, b ∈ B, a-b is odd} Putting a = 3 and b = 7, a – b = 3 – 7 = -4 which is not odd Putting a = 3 and b = 11, a – b = 3 – 11 = -8 which is not odd Putting a = 5 and b = 7: a – b = 5 – 7 = -2 which is not odd Putting a = 5 and b = 11: a – b = 5 – 11 = -6 which is not odd ∴ R = { } = Φ R is an empty relation from A into B. Thus proved. |
