Comprehension

Let S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} and X be the set of all relations R from S to S that satisfy both the following properties :
i. R has exactly 6 elements.
ii. For each (a, b) ∈ R, we have |a - b| ≥ 2.
Let Y = {R ∈ X : The range of R has exactly one element} and
Z = {R ∈ X : R is a function from S to S}.
Let n(A) denote the number of elements in a set A.

Solution and Explanation

Condition Satisfaction 

To satisfy the condition \( |a - b| \geq 2 \), \( b \) must be at least 2 units away from \( a \). The possible pairs are:

  • a = 1, b = 3, 4, 5, 6
  • a = 2, b = 4, 5, 6
  • a = 3, b = 1, 5, 6
  • a = 4, b = 1, 2, 6
  • a = 5, b = 1, 2, 3
  • a = 6, b = 1, 2, 3, 4

Counting all valid pairs:

\[ \text{Total pairs} = 20 \]

Quick Tip:

  • \( n(X) = 20 \)
  • \( m = 20 \)

Correct Answer: 36

Solution and Explanation

Calculating \( n(Y) \) and \( n(Z) \) 

To calculate \( n(Y) \): Since the range of \( R \) has exactly one element, \( R \) cannot have 6 elements. Therefore:

\[ n(Y) = 0 \]

To calculate \( n(Z) \): The number of functions from \( S \) to \( S \) is determined by the product of choices for each mapping. Using the binomial coefficients:

\[ n(Z) = 4 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 4 \]

Simplify:

\[ n(Z) = 362 \]

Thus, the total is:

\[ n(Y) + n(Z) = 362 \]

From this, we find:

\[ |k| = 36 \]

Final Answer:

  • \( |k| = 36 \)
