Let A = 1 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 9 and B = 2 , 4 , 5 , 8 , 10 . Let R be a relation defined on A × B such that R…

Let A=1,3,4,6,9 and B=2,4,5,8,10. Let R be a relation defined on A×B such that  R=a1,b1,a2,b2:a1b2 and b1a2. Then the number of elements in the set R is
  1. 160
  2. 52
  3. 26
  4. 180

Solution

Given,

A=1,3,4,6,9 & B=2,4,5,8,10

And relation is given by,

R=a1,b1,a2,b2:a1b2 and b1a2

Now taking cases for a1b2 we get,

a1=1, b22,4,5,8,105 cases

a1=3, b24,5,8,104 cases

a1=4, b24,5,8,104 cases

a1=6, b28,102 cases

a1=9, b2101 cases

So, total 16 cases will be there 

Now finding cases of b1a2 we get,

b1=2, a23,4,6,94 cases

b1=4, a24,6,93 cases

b1=5, a26,92 cases

b1=8, a291 cases

So, here total 10 cases,

Hence, total elements in relation =16×10=160
