Step-by-Step Solution

Let A = {3, 5}. A relation R on A is reflexive if (a, a) ∈ R for all a ∈ A.

In this case, for R to be reflexive, (3, 3) and (5, 5) must be in R.

The possible elements in a relation on A are: (3, 3), (3, 5), (5, 3), (5, 5).

Since (3, 3) and (5, 5) must be in R, we only need to consider whether (3, 5) and (5, 3) are in R or not.

We have the following possibilities:

  1. R1 = {(3, 3), (5, 5)}
  2. R2 = {(3, 3), (5, 5), (3, 5)}
  3. R3 = {(3, 3), (5, 5), (5, 3)}
  4. R4 = {(3, 3), (5, 5), (3, 5), (5, 3)}

Therefore, there are 4 reflexive relations on A.

Correct Answer: 4
