Let R be a relation on the set of ordered pairs of positive integers such that ((p, q), (r, s)) ∈ R if and only if p − s = q − r. Which one of the following is true about R?





Go to Discussion

Jamia Millia Islamia MCA Previous Year PYQ Jamia Millia Islamia MCA JAMIA MILLIA ISLAMIA MCA 2025 PYQ

Solution

Let R be a relation on ordered pairs of positive integers such that ((p,q),(r,s)) R iff p-s=q-r Check reflexive: For reflexive, take (p,q)=(r,s) Then condition becomes p-q=q-p 2p=2q p=q This is not true for every ordered pair, so R is not reflexive. Check symmetric: Given p-s=q-r Rearrange: p+r=q+s Now for symmetry we need r-q=s-p This also gives r+p=s+q, same condition. So R is symmetric.

Jamia Millia Islamia MCA Previous Year PYQ Jamia Millia Islamia MCA JAMIA MILLIA ISLAMIA MCA 2025 PYQ

Solution

Formula of AP:
$a_n = a + (n-1)d$

Given:
$a_5 = 20,\ d = 3$

So,
$20 = a + (5-1) \cdot 3$
$20 = a + 12$
$a = 8$
