Functions Question 359

Question: If $ A={a,b,c,d},B={1,2,3}, $ which of the following sets of ordered pairs are not relations from A to B?

Options:

A) $ {(a,1),(a,3)} $

B) $ {(b,1),(c,2),(d,1)} $

C) $ {(a,2),(b,3),(3,b)} $

D) $ {(a,1),(b,2),(c,3)} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] $ {(a,1),(a,3)}\subseteq A\times B\therefore $ This is a relation. $ {(b,1),(c,2),(d,1)}\subseteq A\times B\therefore $ This is a relation. $ (3,b)\notin A\times B $
$ \therefore {(a,2),(b,3),(3,b)} $ is not a relation from A to B, $ (a,1)(b,2)(c,3) $ is a relation from A to B.
