63. Given a non empty set X, consider P(X) which is the set of all subsets of X.
Define the relation R in P(X) as follows: For subsets A, B in P(X), ARB if and only if A ⊂ B. Is R an equivalence relation on P(X)? Justify you answer:
63. Given a non empty set X, consider P(X) which is the set of all subsets of X.
Define the relation R in P(X) as follows: For subsets A, B in P(X), ARB if and only if A ⊂ B. Is R an equivalence relation on P(X)? Justify you answer:
Since every set is a subset of itself, ARA for all A ∈ P (X).
∴R is reflexive.
Let ARB ⇒ A ⊂ B.
This cannot be implied to B ⊂ A.
For instance, if A = {1, 2} and B = {1, 2, 3}, then it cannot be implied that B is related to A.
∴ R is not symmetric.
Further, if ARB and BRC, then A ⊂ B and B ⊂ C.
⇒ A ⊂ C

⇒ (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
