To determine the relation R defined in N by a \(R_ b\), if \(3a + 2b = 27\), we need to find the pairs (a, b) that satisfy this equation.
Let's check each option to see which one represents the relation R.
Option (A): {(1, 12), (3, 9), (5, 6), (7, 3)}
Let's substitute the values from each pair into the equation:
\(3(1) + 2(12) = 3 + 24 = 27\) (satisfied)
\(3(3) + 2(9) = 9 + 18 = 27\) (satisfied)
\(3(5) + 2(6) = 15 + 12 = 27\) (satisfied)
\(3(7) + 2(3) = 21 + 6 = 27\) (satisfied)
So, option (A) represents the relation R.
Therefore, the relation R defined in N by a\( R_ b\), if 3a + 2b = 27, is {(1, 12), (3, 9), (5, 6), (7, 3)} (option A).
We are given a relation R defined in the set of natural numbers ℕ such that:
\( a \mathbb{R} b \iff 3a + 2b = 27 \)
We need to find all pairs (a, b) in natural numbers such that the equation is satisfied.
Solving for b: \[ b = \frac{27 - 3a}{2} \]
We test values of a ∈ ℕ and check if b is also a natural number:
a | b = (27 - 3a)/2 | b ∈ ℕ? |
---|---|---|
1 | 12 | Yes |
3 | 9 | Yes |
5 | 6 | Yes |
7 | 3 | Yes |
9 | 0 | No (0 ∉ ℕ) |
Hence, R = {(1,12), (3,9), (5,6), (7,3)}
Answer: {(1,12), (3,9), (5,6), (7,3)}
The relation R is defined in N (the set of natural numbers) by a R b if 3a + 2b = 27. We need to find the pairs (a, b) that satisfy this condition where both a and b are natural numbers (positive integers).
Let's rearrange the equation to solve for b:
2b = 27 - 3a
b = (27 - 3a) / 2
Now we need to find the values of 'a' for which 'b' is also a natural number. This means that (27 - 3a) must be positive and divisible by 2.
Therefore, the relation R = {(1, 12), (3, 9), (5, 6), (7, 3)}.
Answer: {(1,12), (3,9), (5,6), (7,3)}
