Step-by-step solution

Given the set A={2,3,4,5,6}A = \{2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}.

The relation RR is defined on A×AA \times A such that (x,y)R(z,w)(x, y) R (z, w) if and only if xx divides zz and y≤wy \leq w.

The number of elements in RR is the number of ordered pairs ((x,y),(z,w))((x, y), (z, w)) satisfying these conditions. Since the conditions for (x,z)(x, z) and (y,w)(y, w) are independent, the total number of elements in RR will be the product of the number of pairs (x,z)(x, z) satisfying xx divides zz and the number of pairs (y,w)(y, w) satisfying y≤wy \leq w.

First, we find the number of pairs (x,z)∈A×A(x, z) \in A \times A such that xx divides zz:
For x=2x = 2, z∈{2,4,6}z \in \{2, 4, 6\} (33 pairs)
For x=3x = 3, z∈{3,6}z \in \{3, 6\} (22 pairs)
For x=4x = 4, z∈{4}z \in \{4\} (11 pair)
For x=5x = 5, z∈{5}z \in \{5\} (11 pair)
For x=6x = 6, z∈{6}z \in \{6\} (11 pair)
Total number of pairs (x,z)=3+2+1+1+1=8(x, z) = 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8.

Next, we find the number of pairs (y,w)∈A×A(y, w) \in A \times A such that y≤wy \leq w:
For y=2y = 2, w∈{2,3,4,5,6}w \in \{2, 3, 4, 5, 6\} (55 pairs)
For y=3y = 3, w∈{3,4,5,6}w \in \{3, 4, 5, 6\} (44 pairs)
For y=4y = 4, w∈{4,5,6}w \in \{4, 5, 6\} (33 pairs)
For y=5y = 5, w∈{5,6}w \in \{5, 6\} (22 pairs)
For y=6y = 6, w∈{6}w \in \{6\} (11 pair)
Total number of pairs (y,w)=5+4+3+2+1=15(y, w) = 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 15.

The total number of elements in the relation RR is the product of the number of these pairs:
Total elements = 8×15=1208 \times 15 = 120.

Answer: 120120
