Number of binary operations on the set {a, b} are
10
16
20
8
A binary operation * on {a, b} is a function from {a, b} × {a, b} \(\to\) {a, b}
i.e., * is a function from {(a, a), (a, b), (b, a), (b, b)} \(\to\) {a, b}.
Hence, the total number of binary operations on the set {a, b} is \(2^4\) i.e., 16.
The correct answer is B (16).
Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
Show that the relation R in the set R of real numbers, defined as
R = {(a, b): a ≤ b2 } is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.
Check whether the relation R defined in the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} as
R = {(a, b): b = a + 1} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.
