Let $R$ be a relation on $N \times N$ defined by $(a, b) R (c, d)$ if and only if $ad(b - c) = bc(a - d)$. Then $R$ is
(A) symmetric and transitive but not reflexive
(B) reflexive and symmetric but not transitive
(C) transitive but neither reflexive nor symmetric
(D) symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Given $(a, b) R (c, d) \implies ad(b - c) = bc(a - d)$.

Symmetric:
$(c, d) R (a, b) \implies cb(d - a) = da(c - b)$. This is symmetric.

Reflexive:
$(a, b) R (a, b) \implies ab(b - a) \neq ba(a - b)$. Thus, not reflexive.

Transitive:
$(2, 3) R (3, 2)$ and $(3, 2) R (5, 30)$ but $((2, 3), (5, 30)) \notin R$. Thus, not transitive.

Therefore, R is symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive.

Let $A$ and $B$ be two finite sets with $m$ and $n$ elements respectively. The total number of subsets of the set $A$ is 56 more than the total number of subsets of $B$. Then the distance of the point $P(m,n)$ from the point $Q(-2,-3)$ is :

Let $\mathrm{A}=\{-4,-3,-2,0,1,3,4\}$ and $\mathrm{R}=\left\{(a, b) \in \mathrm{A} \times \mathrm{A}: b=|a|\right.$ or $\left.b^{2}=a+1\right\}$ be a relation on $\mathrm{A}$. Then the minimum number of elements, that must be added to the relation $\mathrm{R}$ so that it becomes reflexive and symmetric, is __________

Consider the sets $A = \{(x, y) \in R \times R : x^2 + y^2 = 25\}$, $B = \{(x, y) \in R \times R : x^2 + 9y^2 = 144\}$, $C = \{(x, y) \in Z \times Z : x^2 + y^2 \le 4\}$ and $D = A \cap B$. The total number of one-one functions from the set $D$ to the set $C$ is:

Let $A = {2, 3, 4}$ and $B = {8, 9, 12}$. Then the number of elements in the relation $R = {((a_1, b_1), (a_2, b_2)) \in (A \times B, A \times B) : a_1$ divides $b_2$ and $a_2$ divides $b_1}$ is :

In a survey of 220 students of a higher secondary school, it was found that at least 125 and at most 130 students studied Mathematics; at least 85 and at most 95 studied Physics; at least 75 and at most 90 studied Chemistry; 30 studied both Physics and Chemistry; 50 studied both Chemistry and Mathematics; 40 studied both Mathematics and Physics and 10 studied none of these subjects. Let $m$ and $n$ respectively be the least and the most number of students who studied all the three subjects. Then $\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n}$ is equal to ___________.
