The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Given, $ n(A\times A)=9\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,n(A)\times n(A)=9 $ which is possible when, $ n(A)=3. $ i.e., set A contain only three elements i.e., $ A=\{1,-1,0\} $ So, $ A\times A $ contain $ (-1,0) $ and $ (0,\,1) $

Relations and functions

A relation R from a non-empty set B is a subset of the cartesian product A × B. The subset is derived by describing a relationship between the first element and the second element of the ordered pairs in A × B.

A relation f from a set A to a set B is said to be a function if every element of set A has one and only one image in set B. In other words, no two distinct elements of B have the same pre-image.

Representation of Relation and Function

Relations and functions can be represented in different forms such as arrow representation, algebraic form, set-builder form, graphically, roster form, and tabular form. Define a function f: A = {1, 2, 3} → B = {1, 4, 9} such that f(1) = 1, f(2) = 4, f(3) = 9. Now, represent this function in different forms.

  1. Set-builder form - {(x, y): f(x) = y2, x ∈ A, y ∈ B}
  2. Roster form - {(1, 1), (2, 4), (3, 9)}
  3. Arrow Representation
