The given relation in set A of all polygons is defined as
R= and have same number of sides
Let ,
As number of sides = number of sides
So, R is reflexive.
Let and
Then, number of sides of = number of sides of
Number of sides of = number of sides of
i.e.,
so, R is symmetric.
Let and and
Then, number of sides = number of sides
Number of sides = number of sides
So, number of sides = number of sides
I.e.,
So, R is transitive.
Hence, R is an equivalence relation.

n (R1) = 66
R2 = {a is integral multiple of b}
So n (R1 – R2) = 66 – 20 = 46

⇒ (y, x) ∈ R V (x, y) ∈ R
(x, y) ∈ R ⇒ 2x = 3y and (y, x) ∈ R ⇒ 3x = 2y
Which holds only for (0, 0)
Which does not belongs to R.
∴ Value of n = 0
f is increasing function
x < 5x < 7x

f (x) < f (5x) < f (7x)
->
Given f (k) =
 
          
Case I : If x is even then g (x) = x . (i)
Case II : If x is odd then g (x + 1) = x + 1 . (ii)
From (i) & (ii), g (x) = x, when x is even
So total no. of functions = 105 × 1 = 105
