Now 
and 
2. Let

if 
is odd and 
if is even. Show that 
is invertible. Find the inverse of 
Here, W is the set of all whole numbers.
Ans. Given: defined as 
Injectivity: Let 
be any two odd real numbers, then 
Again, let be any two even whole numbers, then
Is is even and 
is odd, then 
Also, if 
odd and 
is even, then 
Hence,
is an injective mapping.
Surjectivity: Let be an arbitrary whole number.
If is an odd number, then there exists an even whole number 
such that
If is an even number, then there exists an odd whole number 
such that
Therefore, every 
W has its pre-image in W.
So, is a surjective. Thus is invertible and 
exists.

4. Show that the function 
defined by 
R is one-one and onto function.
Ans. is one-one: For any 
R – {+1}, we have 
Therefore, is one-one function.
If is one-one, let 
R – {1}, then 
It is cleat that R for all R – {1}, also 
Because 
which is not possible.
Thus for each R – {1} there exists 
R – {1} such that
Therefore is onto function.

8. Given a non empty set X, consider P (X) which is the set of all subsets of X.
Define the relation AR in P (X) as follows:
For subsets A, B in P (X), ARB if and only if A
B. Is R an equivalence relation on P (X)? Justify your answer.
Ans. (i) A A R is reflexive.
(ii) A B 
B A R is not commutative.
(iii) If A B, B C, then A C R is transitive.
Therefore, R is not equivalent relation.
9. Given a non-empty set X, consider the binary operation * : P (X) x P (X) 
P (X) given by A * B = A 
B 
A, B in P (X), where P (X) is the power set of X. Show that X is the identity element for this operation and X is the only invertible element in P (X) with respect to the operation *.
Ans. Let S be a non-empty set and P(S) be its power set. Let any two subsets A and B of S.
A 
B S
A B 
P(S)
Therefore, 
is an binary operation on P(S).
Similarly, if A, B P(S) and A – B P(S), then the intersection of sets and difference of sets are also binary operation on P(S) and A S = A = S A for every subset A of sets
A S = A = S A for all A P(S)
S is the identity element for intersection 
on P(S).
10. Find the number of all onto functions from the set {1, 2, 3, ……., } to itself.
Ans. The number of onto functions that can be defined from a finite set A containing elements onto a finite set B containing elements =

11. Let S = 
and T = {1, 2, 3}. Find 
of the following functions F from S to T, if it exists.
(i) F = 
(ii) F = 
Ans. S = and T = {1, 2, 3}
(i) F =
(ii)
F is not one-one function, since element 
and 
have the same image 1.
Therefore, F is not one-one function.

12. Consider the binary operation * : R x R R and o = R x R R defined as 
and 
R. Show that * is commutative but not associative, o is associative but not commutative. Further, show that 
R, 
[If it is so, we say that the operation * distributes over the operation o]. Does o distribute over *? Justify your answer.
Ans. Part I: also 
operation * is commutative.
Now, 
And 
Here, 
operation * is not associative.
Part II: 
R
And, 
operation 
is not commutative.
Now 
and 
Here 
operation is associative.
Part III: L.H.S. 
=
R.H.S. 
= 
= L.H.S. Proved.
Now, another distribution law: 
L.H.S. 
R.H.S. 
As L.H.S. R.H.S.
Therefore, the operation does not distribute over.

13. Given a non-empty set X, let * : P (X) x P (X) P (X) be defined as A * B = (A – B) (B – A), A, B P (X). Show that the empty set 
is the identity for the operation * and all the elements A of P (X) are invertible with A-1 = A. (Hint: 
and 
)
Ans. For every A P(X), we have
= 
And 
= 
is the identity element for the operation * on P(X).
Also A * A = (A – A) (A – A) = 
Every element A of P(X) is invertible with 
= A.

14. Define binary operation * on the set {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} as 
Show that zero is the identity for this operation and each element 
of the set is invertible with 
being the inverse of 
Ans. A binary operation (or composition) * on a (non-empty) set is a function * : A x A A. We denote 
by 
for every ordered pair 
A x A.
A binary operation on a no-empty set A is a rule that associates with every ordered pair of elements 
(distinct or equal) of A some unique element of A.
* | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 0 |
2 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 0 | 1 |
3 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
4 | 4 | 5 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
5 | 5 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
For all 
A, we have 
(mod 6) = 0
And 
and 
0 is the identity element for the operation.
Also on 0 = 0 – 0 = 0 *
2 * 1 = 3 = 1 * 2

(A) 10
(b) 16
(C) 20
(D) 8
Ans. A =
