Let a set $A = A_1 \cup A_2 \cup ..... \cup A_k$, where $A_i \cap A_j = \phi$ for $i \neq j$, $1 \le j, j \le k$. Define the relation R from A to A by $R = \{(x, y) : y \in A_i$ if and only if $x \in A_i, 1 \le i \le k\}$. Then, R is :

Consider the following two binary relations on the set $A = {a, b, c}$: $R_1 = {(c, a), (b, b), (a, c), (c, c), (b, c), (a, a)}$ and $R_2 = {(a, b), (b, a), (c, c), (c, a), (a, a), (b, b), (a, c)}$. Then:

The number of relations on the set $A=\{1,2,3\}$, containing at most 6 elements including $(1,2)$, which are reflexive and transitive but not symmetric, is __________.

Let $A = {1, 3, 4, 6, 9}$ and $B = {2, 4, 5, 8, 10}$. Let $R$ be a relation defined on $A \times B$ such that $R = {((a_1, b_1), (a_2, b_2)): a_1 \le b_2 \text{ and } b_1 \le a_2}$. Then the number of elements in the set R is :

Let $X = R \times R$. Define a relation R on X as: $(a_1, b_1) R (a_2, b_2) \Leftrightarrow b_1 = b_2$ Statement I: $R$ is an equivalence relation. Statement II: For some $(a, b) \in X$, the set $S = \{(x, y) \in X : (x, y)R(a, b)\}$ represents a line parallel to $y = x$. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
