Let $A = \{-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3\}$ and R be a relation on A defined by $xRy$ if and only if $2x - y \in \{0, 1\}$. Let $l$ be the number of elements in $R$. Let $m$ and $n$ be the minimum number of elements required to be added in R to make it reflexive and symmetric relations, respectively. Then $l + m + n$ is equal to:
(A) 17
(B) 18
(C) 15
(D) 16
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
$xRy \Leftrightarrow 2x - y \in \{0, 1\}$
$\Rightarrow y = 2x$ or $y = 2x - 1$
$A=\{-3,-2,-1, 0, 1, 2, 3\}$
$R = \{(-1,-2), (0,0), (1, 2), (-1, -3), (0, -1), (1, 1), (2,3)\}$
$\Rightarrow I=7$
For $R$ to be reflexive $(0,0), (1,1) \in R$
But other $(a, a)$ such that $2a - a \in \{0, 1\}$
$\Rightarrow a \in \{0, 1\}$
5 other pairs needs to be added
$\Rightarrow m=5$
$xRy \Rightarrow yRx$ to be symmetric
$(-1, -2) \Rightarrow (-2, -1)$
$(1, 2) \Rightarrow (2, 1)$
$(-1, -3) \Rightarrow (-3, -1)$
$(0, -1) \Rightarrow (-1, 0)$
$(2, 3) \Rightarrow (3, 2)$
$\Rightarrow 5$ needs to be added, $n=5$
$\Rightarrow l+m+n=17$

Two newspapers A and B are published in a city. It is known that $25$% of the city populations reads A and $20$% reads B while $8$% reads both A and B. Further, $30$% of those who read A but not B look into advertisements and $40$% of those who read B but not A also look into advertisements, while $50$% of those who read both A and B look into advertisements. Then the percentage of the population who look into advertisement 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 ___________.
