Determine whether each of the following relations is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.Relation R in the set A of human beings in a town at a particular time given by R={(x,y): x is father of y }

Answer»

SOLUTION :Clearly (X,x)`!in`R for any `x in A`
`THEREFORE`R is not reflexive `(x ,y) inR RARR ` x is FATHER of y
`rArr `y can.t be father of x
`rArr (y,x)!in R`
`therefore `R is not symmetric `(x,y) in R (y,z)in R `
`rArr ` x is father of y and y is father of z
`rArr` x can.t be father of z(br)`rArr (x,z) !in R`
`therefore`R is not transitive .
5.

Determine whether each of the following relations is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.Relation R in the set A of human beings in a town at a particular time given by R={(x,y): x is wife of y }

Answer»

Solution :Clearly `(X,x)!in`R for any `x in A`
`therefore`R is not reflexive `(x ,y) inR rArr `is wife of y`rArr `y is husband of x `rArr (y,x)!in R`
`therefore `R is not symmetric
There can.t EXIST `x,y,z in A` so that x is wife of y and y is wifeof z
`therefore`R is OBVIOUSLY transitive.

8.

Determine whether each of the following relations is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.Relation R in the set A = {1,2,,3,…,13,14} defined as R= {(x,y) : 3x -y = 0}

Answer»

SOLUTION :R = {(1,3) (2,6) (3,9)(4,12)}
R is not REFLEXIVE because` (1,1)!in R`
R is not SYMMETRIC because `(1,3) in` R but `(3,1)!in R`
R is not TRANSITIVE because `(1,3) in R `and `(3,9) in R`but `(1,9) !in R`.

Solution :`X^(2)=cos^(2)A+cos^(2)B+2cosA.cosB`
`y=2(cos^(2)A+cos^(2)B)-2`
`:.cos^(2)A+cos^(2)B=1+y/2`
`:' cos A.cosBB=1/4(2x^(2)-y-2)` and `z=-2x^(3)+3xy+3x`
`:.2x^(3)+z=3x(y+1)` ltbrogt `xyz=0AA A` and `B` is not true

Two point charge (Q each) are placed at (0,y) and (0,-y). A point charge q of the same polarity can move along X-axis. Then :

Answer»

The force on q is maximum at `xpmy//sqrt(2)`
the CHARGE on q in equilibrium at the origin
the charge q performs an OSCILLATORY motion about the origin

Solution :At a popint with corrdinates (x,0) the force is `F=(2Qq)/(4piepsilon_(0))(x)/((x^(2)+y^(2))^(3//2))`. For F to maximum, equating `(dF)/(dx)` to ZERO give `xpm(y)/(sqrt(2))`. The charge is obviously in equilibrium at the origin. However, the equilibrium is not stabel since the force is REPULSIVE and hance will not be able to restore the charge at the origin The charge therefore connot perform oscillatory motion.
