Let A = {–3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3}. Let R be a relation on A defined by if and only if . Let be the number of elements in R and m be the minimum number of elements required to be added in R to make it reflexive relation. Then + m is equal to [2025]
(1)
A = {–3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3}
xRy if and only if
y = –3
y = –2
y = –1
y = 0
y = 1
y = 2
y = 3
R = {(–3, –3), (3, –3), (–2, –2),(2, –2), (–2, –1), (2, –1), (–2, 0), (–1, 0), (0,0), (1, 0), (2, 0), (–1, 1), (0, 1), (1, 1), (0, 2)}
= 15
To make it reflexive we will add (–1, –1), (2, 2), (3, 3) in R
+ m = 15 + 3 = 18.
