(1, 3), (3, l)J . We are left with four pairs (1, 5), (5, 1), (3, 5) and (5, 3). Now to get another
equivalence relation Ri on A we add any one pair out of the above four pairs, say
(1, 5) then for symmet ry we have to add (5, 1). Also to maintain transitiv ity we are
forced to add (3, 5) and (5, 3). Thus the only equivale nce relation on A bigger than R1 is
the universa l relation. Hence, the total number of equivale nce relations on A containi ng
(1, 3) is two.

 TI1Us the element 2 of codomain of/ has no pre-unage
⇒ f is not SUIJecbve
Option (c) is the correct answer
(m) J. 11, 2, 3, -1➔ II, 4, 9, .• I be defined by /(x) = x2
lnjective:Le t/(x1)=/ (.r:!), 'v x 1,x2 e 11, 2, 3, . j
⇒ x 12 =x/ ⇒ (x1 - .x2 )(x1 +x 2 )=0
⇒ .r1 =x2 or .r 1 =-x2
But .r 1 ~-x2
So, x1 = x2 ⇒ f is injective
Surjective: Let y = x2 ⇒ x = fy

X= 4 = 2, X = ✓9 =3
.. Forev ery ye 11,4,9, .. Hhere eXIstsx e 11, 2, 3, .. I
⇒ f is surjective.
So,/ is bijective
: Option (a) 1s the correct answer.
(iv) f : Z ➔ Z defined by f (x) = x2
Notlnj ective : Let f (x1) = f (x2), 'v xl' x2 e Z
⇒ xl 2 = x/ ⇒ (X1 - ~) (xt + X2) = 0
⇒ X1 = X2 or Xi= -X2
⇒ f is not mJective.
Not Surjective: Note that 2 e Z (codomain of/).
Let x e Z (domain of/) be such that/(x ) = 2

⇒ x2= 2 ⇒ x =± ✓2 i Z
Thus elemen t 2 of codomain of/has no pre-image
⇒ f is not surJective
:. Option (a) is the correct answer.
