Step 1: Determine the elements of relation R.
The relation R is defined by Ry if and only if y = max{x, 1}. We need to find all pairs (x, y) such that x ∈ A, y ∈ A, and y = max{x, 1}.
Therefore, R = {(-2, 1), (-1, 1), (0, 1), (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)}.
Step 2: Find the number of elements in R (l).
The number of elements in R is l = 6.
Step 3: Determine the minimum number of elements to add to make R reflexive (m).
For R to be reflexive, it must contain (x, x) for all x ∈ A. A = {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3}.
R already contains (1, 1), (2, 2), and (3, 3). We need to add (-2, -2), (-1, -1), and (0, 0) to make it reflexive.
So, m = 3.
Step 4: Determine the minimum number of elements to add to make R symmetric (n).
For R to be symmetric, if (x, y) ∈ R, then (y, x) ∈ R.
R = {(-2, 1), (-1, 1), (0, 1), (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)}.
So, we need to add (1, -2), (1, -1), and (1, 0). Therefore, n = 3.
Step 5: Calculate l + m + n.
l + m + n = 6 + 3 + 3 = 12.
Correct Answer: 12
