Question
Question: Let R be a relation from A = \[\left\\{ {1,2,3,4} \right\\}\]to B = \[\left\\{ {1,3,5} \right\\}\]i....
Let R be a relation from A = \left\\{ {1,2,3,4} \right\\}to B = \left\\{ {1,3,5} \right\\}i.e. (a,b)∈R, if a<b then find ROR−1
Solution
According the question find out the relation R from A and B if a<b and also find out inverse using relation R. Then calculate ROR−1.
Complete step-by-step answer:
Firstly, here we will calculate the relation R that is (a,b) that is to be formed by using the condition a<b .
It is given that A = \left\\{ {1,2,3,4} \right\\}and B = \left\\{ {1,3,5} \right\\}.
So, relation R = \left\\{ {\left( {1,3} \right),\left( {1,5} \right),\left( {2,3} \right),\left( {2,5} \right),\left( {3,5} \right),\left( {4,5} \right)} \right\\}
Now, we will calculate R−1 that is (b,a) by reversing all the set values in relation R.
So, {R^{ - 1}} = \left\\{ {\left( {3,1} \right),\left( {5,1} \right),\left( {3,2} \right),\left( {5,2} \right),\left( {3,5} \right),\left( {5,4} \right)} \right\\}
Here, taking one by one all the values of relation R−1 that is (a,b)and then find out in relation R which is starting from b that is (b,c) . Through which we can calculate the relation ROR−1that is (a,c) .
As, ROR−1=(3,1)∈R−1 and (1,5)∈R
Then, (3,5)∈ROR−1
As, ROR−1=(3,1)∈R−1 and (1,3)∈R
Then, (3,3)∈ROR−1
As, ROR−1=(5,1)∈R−1 and (1,3)∈R
Then, (5,3)∈ROR−1
As, ROR−1=(5,1)∈R−1 and (1,5)∈R
Then, (5,5)∈ROR−1
As, ROR−1=(3,2)∈R−1 and (2,3)∈R
Then, (3,3)∈ROR−1
As, ROR−1=(3,2)∈R−1 and (2,5)∈R
Then, (3,5)∈ROR−1
As, ROR−1=(5,2)∈R−1 and (2,3)∈R
Then, (5,3)∈ROR−1
As, ROR−1=(5,2)∈R−1 and (2,5)∈R
Then, (5,5)∈ROR−1
As, ROR−1=(3,5)∈R−1but there is not any set that starts from 5 in relation R. So, ROR−1 cannot be formed.
As, ROR−1=(5,4)∈R−1 and (4,5)∈R
Then, (5,5)∈ROR−1
Therefore as of now, we will take all the values of ROR−1without repeating and put them in a relation function.
Hence, RO{R^{ - 1}} = \left\\{ {\left( {3,3} \right),\left( {3,5} \right),\left( {5,3} \right),\left( {5,5} \right)} \right\\}
Note: To solve these types of questions, you need to calculate relation R using the given condition. As, in the above question it is required to calculate ROR−1 from which we also need to calculate R−1 .
As, it important to see first the value of R−1 that is (a,b) then use the values from R that is (b,c)
And hence ROR−1is calculated (a,c). So, by following the above method we can calculate any required value.
