A relation deals with, how elements from any set (A) are related to elements of another set (B). there are various form of relations, such as Reflexive, Symatric, Transitive and Equivalance. On the other hand, Functions are special case of Relations where every element in Set A is related to exactly one element in Set B. Functions works like mathematics formulas, for a given set of input the out put will always remain the same. Students will be abel to check the type of relations, and application in class 11 Math Relation and Function chapter. We have provided Class 11 Math Relations and Functions NCERT Solutions on shiskha

So (a, b) R (a, b) " a, b Î Z
R is reflexive
Symmetric:
For (a, b) R (c, d)
If ad – bc is divisible by 5.
Then bc – ad is also divisible by 5.
-> (c, d) R (a, b) "a, b, c, dÎZ
R is symmetric
Transitive:
If (a, b) R (c, d) ->ad –bc divisible by 5 and (c, d) R (e, f) Þcf – de divisible by 5
ad – bc = 5k1 k1 and k2 are integers
cf– de = 5k2
afd – bcf = 5k1f
bcf – bde = 5k2b
afd – bde = 5 (k1f + k2b)
d (af– be) = 5 (k1f + k2b)
-> af – be is not divisible by 5 for every a, b,
a = 1, r = cos2
