Let $R$ be the real line. Consider the following subsets of the plane $R \times R$: $S = {(x, y) : y=x+1 ext{ and } 0
(A) Neither S nor T is an equivalence relation on R
(B) Both S and T are equivalence relation on R
(C) S is an equivalence relation on R but T is not
(D) T is an equivalence relation on R but S is not
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Given $S = {(x, y) : y = x + 1 ext{ and } 0 < x < 2}$. Since $x \ne x+1$ for any $x \in (0,2)$, we have $(x, x) \notin S$. Therefore, $S$ is not reflexive, and hence not an equivalence relation. Also $T = {(x, y) : x - y ext{ is an integer }}$. Since $x - x = 0$ is an integer for all $x \in R$, $T$ is reflexive. If $x - y$ is an integer, then $y - x$ is also an integer, so $T$ is symmetric. If $x - y$ is an integer and $y - z$ is an integer, then $(x - y) + (y - z) = x - z$ is also an integer. Therefore, $T$ is transitive. Hence $T$ is an equivalence relation.

Let $A=\{0,3,4,6,7,8,9,10\}$ and $R$ be the relation defined on $A$ such that $R=\{(x, y) \in A \times A: x-y$ is odd positive integer or $x-y=2\}$. The minimum number of elements that must be added to the relation $R$, so that it is a symmetric relation, is equal to ____________.

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 ___________.
