Ans: Given that A is a set with m elements and B is a set with n elements. a. If A ={a1, a2, a3......am} and B ={b1, b2, b3.....bn} then Cartesian product of A and B is: A X B = {(a1, b1), (a1, b2), (a1, b3)........., (a1, bn), (a2, b1), (a2, b2), (a2, b3).........., (a2, bn), ................. (am, b1),(am, b2), (am, b3),........., (am, bn)} This set of ordered pairs contains mn pairs. Now these pairs can be present in A X B or can be absent. So total number of possible relation = 2mn
b.
Suppose there are two sets ‘A’ and ‘B’ containing ‘m’ and ‘n’ number of elements respectively, i.e., Sets,
'A' = {1, 2, 3, 4, ............, m}, 'B' = {1, 2, 3, 4, ............, n}
Each element of set ‘A’ makes ‘n’ number of functions with each element of the set ‘B’ and hence total number of functions possible is |B||A| i.e nm .
c. A relation has ordered pairs (a,b). Now 'a' can be chosen in m ways and also 'b' can be choosen in m ways. So set of ordered pairs contains m2 pairs. Now for a reflexive relation, (a,a) must be present in these ordered pairs. And there will be total m pairs of (a,a), so number of ordered pairs will be m2-m pairs. So total number of relations from A to itself are reflexive relations is equal to 2m(m-1).
