Question:

A relation on the set A = {x : |x| < 3, x $\in$ Z }, where Z is the set of integers is defined by R = {(x, y) : y = |x|, x $\neq$ - 1}. Then the number of elements in the power set of R is:

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

A = {x : |x| < 3, x $\in$ Z } A = {-2, - 1, 0, 1, 2} R = {(x, y) : y = |x|, x $\neq$ -1} R = {(-2, 2), (0, 0), (1, 1), (2, 2)} R has four elements Number of elements in the power set of $R = 2^4 = 16$

Concepts Used:

Sets

Set is the collection of well defined objects. Sets are represented by capital letters, eg. A={}. Sets are composed of elements which could be numbers, letters, shapes, etc.

Example of set: Set of vowels A={a,e,i,o,u}

Representation of Sets

There are three basic notation or representation of sets are as follows:

Statement Form: The statement representation describes a statement to show what are the elements of a set.

  • For example, Set A is the list of the first five odd numbers.

Roster Form: The form in which elements are listed in set. Elements in the set is seperatrd by comma and enclosed within the curly braces.

  • For example represent the set of vowels in roster form.

A={a,e,i,o,u}

Set Builder Form: 

  1. The set builder representation has a certain rule or a statement that specifically describes the common feature of all the elements of a set.
  2. The set builder form uses a vertical bar in its representation, with a text describing the character of the elements of the set.
  3. For example, A = { k | k is an even number, k ≤ 20}. The statement says, all the elements of set A are even numbers that are less than or equal to 20.
  4. Sometimes a ":" is used in the place of the "|".
