Marking Scheme

General Instructions

1. The marking scheme provides general guide lines to reduce subjectivity and
maintaining uniformity among large number of examiners involved in the marking.
The answers given in the marking scheme are the best suggested answers.
2. Marking is to be done as per instructions provided in the marking scheme. (It
should not be done according to one’s own interpretation or any other
consideration).
3. Alternative methods are accepted. Proportional marks are to be awarded.
4. If a question is attempted twice the candidates has not crossed any answer, only
first attempt is to be evaluated.Write extra with second attempt.
5. Please do not hesitate to award full marks if the answer deserves it.

33 Let (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈𝑁 × 𝑁. Then we have
𝑎𝑏 = 𝑏𝑎 (by commutative property of multiplication of natural
numbers) 1
⟹ (𝑎, 𝑏)𝑅(𝑎, 𝑏)
Hence, R is reflexive.
Let (𝑎, 𝑏), (𝑐, 𝑑) ∈𝑁 × 𝑁 such that (a, b) R (c, d). Then
𝑎𝑑 = 𝑏𝑐 ⟹ 𝑐𝑏 = 𝑑𝑎 (by commutative property of multiplication of
natural numbers 1
⟹ (𝑐, 𝑑)𝑅(𝑎, 𝑏)
Hence, R is symmetric.
Let (𝑎, 𝑏), (𝑐, 𝑑), (𝑒, 𝑓) ∈𝑁 × 𝑁 such that
(a, b) R (c, d) and (c, d) R (e, f).
Then 𝑎𝑑 = 𝑏𝑐, 𝑐𝑓 = 𝑑𝑒
⟹𝑎𝑑𝑐𝑓 = 𝑏𝑐𝑑𝑒 1
⟹𝑎𝑓 = 𝑏𝑒
⟹ (𝑎, 𝑏)𝑅(𝑒, 𝑓)
Hence, R is transitive. 1
Since, R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive, R is an
