9. Consider the set A = {2,3,4, 5,……….17,18}. Let R be the relation in A × A which is defined by
( a , b ) R(c , d ) if and only if ad =bc . Prove that R is an equivalence relation. Find the equivalence class of
(3,2).

Sol: R is the reflexive in A × A defined by ( a , b ) R(c , d ) if and only if ad =bc . ....(i)

We have ∀ ( a , b ) ∈ A × A
⇒ ab=ba , i. e ., ( a , b ) R(a , b)
∴ R is reflexive.
Suppose ( a , b ) R ( c , d ) . Then ad=bc , which implies cb=da .
Thus ( c , d ) R (a , b) and R is symmetric.
Now suppose( a , b ) R ( c , d )∧( c , d ) R (e , f ) .
Thus ( ad ) ( cf ) =( bc )( de ) ⇒ adcf =bcde
Dividing both sides by cd, we get af =be , i .e . , ( a ,b ) R (e , f )
R is transitive.
∴ R being reflexive, symmetric and transitive is an equivalence relation.
Equivalence class {(3,2), (6,4), (9,6),(12,8),(15,10),(18,12)}

Three schools A, B and C organized a mela for collecting funds for helping the rehabilitation of
flood victims. They sold hand made fans, mats and plates from recycled material at a cost of ₹ 25,
₹100 and ₹50 each. The number of articles sold are given below :

School A B C

Hand fans 40 25 35
Mats 50 40 50
Plates 20 30 40

Find the funds collected by each school separately by selling the above articles. Also find the total
funds collected for the purpose.

Sol. Let the funds collected by schools A, B and C be x, y and z (in ₹) respectively.

FundsbyschoolA → ¿ x 40 50 20 ¿ 25
So, Fans Mats Plates Cost FundsbyschoolB→ ¿ y = 25 40 30 ¿ 100

¿z 7 10 8 ¿ 2 ¿7 +40+16 ¿z ¿ 63 ¿ 7875
By equality of matrices, we get : x=7000 , y=6125 , z=7875 .
So the funds collected by school A is ₹ 7000, by school B is ₹ 6125 and by school C is ₹ 7875.
And, total funds collected = ₹(7000 + 6125 + 7875) = ₹21000.

By equality of matrices, we get :
⇒ a+4 b=−7 , c+ 4 d=2, 2 a+5 b=−8 , 2 c+5 d=4 ,3 a +6 b=−9 , 3 c+ 6 d=6
On solving these equations simultaneously, a=1 , b=−2 , c=2 , d=0 (2 0 )
∴ X= 1 −2 .

. Is f one-

Sol. A=R− {3 }∧B=R−{1 }
f : A → B defined by f ( x )=

x−3( ) .
Let x 1 , x 2 ∈ A
x 1−2 x 2−2
f ( x1 )= , f ( x 2 )=
x 1−3 x2 −3
⇒ ( x 1−2 ) ( x 2−3 ) =( x 2−2 ) (x 1−3)
⇒ x 1 x 2−3 x 1−2 x2 +6=x 1 x 2−2 x 1−3 x 2+6
⇒ −3 x 1−2 x 2=−2 x 1−3 x 2
⇒ −x 1=−x 2 ⇒ x 1=x 2
∴ f is one-one. Let y be any element of B.
Then f ( x )= y
x−2
⇒ = y ⇒ x−2= y (x−3)
x−3
⇒ x−2=xy−3 y ⇒ x ( y−1 )=3 y−2

⇒ x=

∴ For every value of y (except y = 1) There is a pre-image x=
y−1
∴ f is onto. Hence, f is one-one and onto.

13. Solve the following system of equations by matrix method: 3 x−4 y=5∧4 x +2 y=3.

These equations can be expressed in the matrix form as: AX=B .....(3)

16. Two schools A and B decided to award prizes to their students for three games hockey (x), cricket
(y) and tennis (z). School A decided to award a total of ₹ 1000 for the three games to 5, 4 and 3 students
respectively while school B decided to award ₹ 10700 for the three games to 4, 3 and 5 students
respectively. Also, all the three prizes together amount to ₹ 2700.
Using the information given above, answer the following :
(i) A student Robin, of class XII is asked by his teacher to represent the above situation by a matrix
equation. He tries and submits his answer. The teacher marks his answer correct. Which of the
following maybe his answer?

(c) 5 x+ 4 y +3 z=11000 , 4 x +3 y+ 5 z =10700 , x + y + z=2700
(d) 5 x+ 4 y +3 z=11000 , 4 x +3 y+ 5 z =10700 , x + y=2700
(iii) A student Jiva is tested by the teacher, as he asks her, “Is the given system of equations
consistent or inconsistent?” What could be Jiva’s correct answer?
(a) The system of equations is consistent with unique solution
(b) The system of equations is consistent with infinitely many solutions
(c) The system of equations is inconsistent with no solution
(d) The system of equations has trivial solutions
(iv)The prize amount for the hockey is
(a) ₹800 (b) ₹900 (c) ₹1000 (d) ₹700
(v) What will be the total prize amount if there are 2 students each from hockey and cricket and only
one student for tennis?
(a) ₹1500 (b) ₹1020 (c) ₹2700 (d) ₹4600

Sol:

(i) (b) It is evident that the three games hockey, cricket and tennis have been represented by the
symbols x, y and z respectively.

( )( ) ( )

(ii) (c) Using the matrix equation in (i), we will get the linear equations, as
5 x+ 4 y +3 z=11000 , 4 x +3 y+ 5 z =10700 , x + y + z=2700.
(iii) (a) Refer to (i) and (ii).
