Question 85

Let $$A = \{2, 3, 6, 7\}$$ and $$B = \{4, 5, 6, 8\}$$. Let $$R$$ be a relation defined on $$A \times B$$ by $$(a_1, b_1) R (a_2, b_2)$$ if and only if $$a_1 + a_2 = b_1 + b_2$$. Then the number of elements in $$R$$ is _________


Correct Answer: 25

Sum (s)Pairs in A×A with sum sCount NA​(s)Pairs in B×B with sum sCount NB​(s)Contribution (NA​×NB​)
8$$(2,6), (6,2)$$2$$(4,4)$$1$$2 \times 1 = 2$$
9$$(2,7), (7,2), (3,6), (6,3)$$4$$(4,5), (5,4)$$2$$4 \times 2 = 8$$
10$$(3,7), (7,3)$$2$$(4,6), (6,4), (5,5)$$3$$2 \times 3 = 6$$
12$$(6,6)$$1$$(4,8), (8,4), (6,6)$$3$$1 \times 3 = 3$$
13$$(6,7), (7,6)$$2$$(5,8), (8,5)$$2$$2 \times 2 = 4$$
14$$(7,7)$$1$$(6,8), (8,6)$$2$$1 \times 2 = 2$$

$$\text{Total elements in } R = 2 + 8 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 2 = 25$$

The relation $$R$$ contains exactly 25 elements.
