Let A={−2,−1,0,1,2,3,4}\mathrm{A}=\{-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4\}. Let R be a relation on A defined by xRyx \mathrm{Ry} if and only if 2x+y⩽22 x+y \leqslant 2. Let ll be the number of elements in R. Let m and n be the minimum number of elements required to be added in RR to make it reflexive and symmetric relations respectively. Then l+m+nl+m+n is equal to :

Correct answer

C. 33

Step-by-step solution

Given A={−2,−1,0,1,2,3,4}A = \{-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4\} and xRyxRy iff 2x+y⩽22x + y \leqslant 2.
For x=−2x = -2: y⩽6y \leqslant 6, all 7 elements valid (7 pairs).
For x=−1x = -1: y⩽4y \leqslant 4, all 7 elements valid (7 pairs).
For x=0x = 0: y⩽2⇒y∈{−2,−1,0,1,2}y \leqslant 2 \Rightarrow y \in \{-2,-1,0,1,2\} (5 pairs).
For x=1x = 1: y⩽0⇒y∈{−2,−1,0}y \leqslant 0 \Rightarrow y \in \{-2,-1,0\} (3 pairs).
For x=2x = 2: y⩽−2⇒y∈{−2}y \leqslant -2 \Rightarrow y \in \{-2\} (1 pair).
For x=3,4x = 3, 4: no valid yy.
So l=7+7+5+3+1=23l = 7+7+5+3+1 = 23.
For reflexive: (x,x)∈R⇒3x⩽2⇒x⩽2/3(x,x) \in R \Rightarrow 3x \leqslant 2 \Rightarrow x \leqslant 2/3. Already present for x=−2,−1,0x = -2, -1, 0. Missing for x=1,2,3,4x = 1, 2, 3, 4, so m=4m = 4.
For symmetric: need (y,x)∈R(y,x) \in R for every (x,y)∈R(x,y) \in R. Missing pairs: (3,−2),(4,−2),(2,−1),(3,−1),(4,−1),(2,0)(3,-2), (4,-2), (2,-1), (3,-1), (4,-1), (2,0), so n=6n = 6.
l+m+n=23+4+6=33l + m + n = 23 + 4 + 6 = 33.
