Q.

Let A = {1,4, 7} and B = {2, 3, 8}. Then the number of elements, in the relation R={((a1,b1),(a2b2))∈((A×B)×(A×B)) : a1+b2 divides a2+b1} is ________.          [2026]


Ans.

(18)

Given, A = {1, 4,  7} and B = {2, 3,8}

All possible sums:

A/B 2 3 8
1 3 4 9
4 6 7 12
7 9 10 15

 

a1+b2 a2+b1 Number of pairs
15 15 1
12 12 1
10 10 1
9 9 4
7 7 1
6 6, 12 2
4 4, 12 2
3 3, 6, 9 12, 15 6

∴  Number of relations = 18
