Question
Question: Let \(A = \\{ x,y,z\\} \) and \(B = \\{ a,b,c,d\\} \). Which one of the following is not a relation ...
Let A=x,y,z and B=a,b,c,d. Which one of the following is not a relation from A to B.
1)(x,a),(x,c)
2)(y,c),(y,d)
3)(z,a),(z,d)
4)(z,b),(y,b),(a,d)
5)(x,c)
Solution
First, we will need to know about the concept of relation.
A relation M is the subset of the cartesian product of M and N, where M and N are considered as two non-empty sets. It is concluded by stating their relationship between the first and second elements of the ordered pair.
Complete step-by-step solution:
Since from the given that we have two sets A=x,y,z and B=a,b,c,d we need to find their relation from A to B.
First staring with the option 1)(x,a),(x,c) which is a relation from A to B because it consists of the elements in the A at the first and also the elements in the B at the second terms
Hence the option 1)(x,a),(x,c) is incorrect because they are asking the not relation A to B.
Now we will go with the option 2)(y,c),(y,d) which is a relation from A to B because it consists of the elements in the A at the first and also the elements in the B at the second terms
Hence the option 2)(y,c),(y,d) is incorrect because they are asking the not relation A to B.
Now we will go with the option 3)(z,a),(z,d) which is a relation from A to B because it consists of the elements in the A at the first and also the elements in the B at the second terms
Hence the option 3)(z,a),(z,d) is incorrect because they are asking the not relation A to B.
Now we will go with the option 5)(x,c) which is a relation from A to B because it consists of the elements in the A at the first and also the elements in the B at the second terms
Hence the option 5)(x,c) is incorrect because they are asking the not relation A to B.
Finally take the option 4)(z,b),(y,b),(a,d) which is not the relation from A to B, because the set (a,d) is only contained on the B. hence it is not the relation A to B as both the elements of the sets need to contain in the subset.
Therefore, the option 4)(z,b),(y,b),(a,d) is correct, because they are asking the not relation A to B subsets.
Note: Since a function is known as the relation only if each element of non-empty set M, has only one range to a non-empty set N.
Since if the question is about finding the relation function from A to B, then options like 1,2,3,5 are the correct options and thus the option 4 is incorrect. We need to be careful at the given question because correctly checking whether they are asking correct statements is incorrect as the requirements.
