Let A = \ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\ . Let R be a relation on the set A × A...
Let . Let R be a relation on the set given by if and only if divides and . Then the number of elements in R is _______.
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
Given the set .
The relation is defined on such that if and only if divides and .
The number of elements in is the number of ordered pairs satisfying these conditions. Since the conditions for and are independent, the total number of elements in will be the product of the number of pairs satisfying divides and the number of pairs satisfying .
First, we find the number of pairs such that divides :
For , ( pairs)
For , ( pairs)
For , ( pair)
For , ( pair)
For , ( pair)
Total number of pairs .
Next, we find the number of pairs such that :
For , ( pairs)
For , ( pairs)
For , ( pairs)
For , ( pairs)
For , ( pair)
Total number of pairs .
The total number of elements in the relation is the product of the number of these pairs:
Total elements = .
