Question

Let R be a relation defined as xRy if and only if 2x + 3y = 20, where x, y ∈ N. How many elements of the form (x, y) are there in R?
1. 2
2. 3
3. 4
4. 6

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 3

Concept:

If x ∈  R then we express it by writing xRy and say that " x is related to y with relation R"

Thus, (x, y) ∈ R ⇔ xRy

Calculation:

Given

2x + 3y = 20

The relation R can be written as

R = {(1,6), (4, 4), (7, 2)}

There are 3 elements in the form (x, y) are there in R.
