Relations and Orders

1.a) The relation \( \rho = \{(x, y) \in \mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z} | x \text{ divides } y\} \) is a
partial order relation.

- Justification: It is reflexive (every integer divides itself), antisymmetric (if \( x \) divides \( y \) and \(
y \) divides \( x \), then \( x = y \)), and transitive (if \( x \) divides \( y \) and \( y \) divides \( z \), then
\( x \) divides \( z \)).

1.b) For the operation \( a * b = a + b + 1 \), the identity element \( e \) satisfies \( a * e = a \).

- Finding \( e \):

\[

a + e + 1 = a \implies e + 1 = 0 \implies e = -1

\]

2. Equivalence Relations

2.a) An equivalence relation is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.

- Check for \( \rho = \{(a, b) \in \mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z} | ab \leq 0\} \):

- Reflexive: Yes, \( a \cdot a \leq 0 \) is false for positive \( a \).

- Symmetric: Yes, if \( ab \leq 0 \), then \( ba \leq 0 \).

- Transitive: No, if \( ab \leq 0 \) and \( bc \leq 0 \), it does not imply \( ac \leq 0 \).

Conclusion: Not an equivalence relation.

2.b) For \( \rho = \{(a, b) \in \mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z} | (a - b) \text{ is divisible by } 5\} \):

- Reflexive: Yes, \( a - a = 0 \) is divisible by 5.

- Symmetric: Yes, if \( a - b \) is divisible by 5, then \( b - a \) is also divisible by 5.

- Transitive: Yes, if \( a - b \) and \( b - c \) are divisible by 5, then \( a - c \) is divisible by 5.

Conclusion: This is an equivalence relation.

3. Functions

3.a) The function \( f(x) = 11x + 1 \) is bijective (one-to-one and onto).

- Justification: The derivative \( f'(x) = 11 \) is always positive, indicating it is strictly increasing.

- Inverse: To find \( f^{-1}(y) \):


\[

y = 11x + 1 \implies x = \frac{y - 1}{11}

\]

3.b)

- \( f \circ g(x) = f(g(x)) = f(x^2) = x^2 + 2 + 1 = x^2 + 3 \)

- \( g \circ f(x) = g(f(x)) = g(x + 2) = (x + 2)^2 = x^2 + 4x + 4 \)

4. Groups

4.a) An Abelian group is a group where the operation is commutative.

- Roots of \( x^5 = 1 \): The roots are \( 1, \omega, \omega^2, \omega^3, \omega^4 \) (where \(
\omega \) is a primitive 5th root of unity). They form an Abelian group under multiplication.

4.b.i) The set \( G = \{a + b\sqrt{3} : a, b \in \mathbb{Z}\} \) is a group under addition.

- Closure: Yes, \( (a_1 + b_1\sqrt{3}) + (a_2 + b_2\sqrt{3}) = (a_1 + a_2) + (b_1 + b_2)\sqrt{3} \) is in \(
G \).

- Identity: \( 0 + 0\sqrt{3} \).

- Inverses: Yes, \( -(a + b\sqrt{3}) = -a - b\sqrt{3} \).

[Link]) The set \( (\mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z}, +) \) is a group under coordinate-wise addition.

- Closure: Yes, \( (a_1, b_1) + (a_2, b_2) = (a_1 + a_2, b_1 + b_2) \) is in \( \mathbb{Z} \times
\mathbb{Z} \).

5. Combinatorics

5.a) In a group of 7 men and 4 women, to select 5 people:

- Total ways = \( \binom{11}{5} = 462 \).

5.b) For the word "KOLKATA":

- Total letters = 7 (K, O, L, K, A, T, A).

- Different arrangements = \( \frac{7!}{2! \cdot 2!} = 630 \) (accounting for repeated letters).

- If vowels (O, A, A) are never together, use complementary counting.


6. Cartesian Products and Diagonals

6.a) The Cartesian product of two sets \( A \) and \( B \) is \( A \times B = \{(a, b) | a \in A, b \in B\} \).

- Deduction: \( A \times (B \setminus C) = (A \times B) \setminus (A \times C) \).

6.b) For a decagon (10 sides), the number of diagonals is given by \( \frac{n(n-3)}{2} = \frac{10(10-
3)}{2} = 35 \).

7. Pigeonhole Principle

7.a) In a group of 27 English words, at least two words must begin with the same letter (26 letters in
the alphabet).

7.b) Propositional formulas:

- i) \( p \land q \) (Arjun loves Math and Movies).

- ii) \( \neg q \rightarrow \neg p \) (If Arjun does not love movies, then he does not love Math).

8. Tautology and Contradiction

Definitions:

- Tautology: A statement that is always true.

- Contradiction: A statement that is always false.

- Identifications:

- a) Tautology

- b) Contradiction

- c) Contradiction

- d) Tautology

9. Logical Equivalences

9.a)

\[

\neg(p \land q) \land (p \lor q) \equiv (p \land \neg q) \lor (\neg p \land q)

\]

9.b)
\[

\neg(p \lor (\neg p \land q)) \equiv \neg p \land \neg q

\]

10. Graphs

10.a) Draw the directed graph based on the incidence matrix provided.

10.b) Draw the undirected graph based on the adjacency matrix provided.

11. Graph Theory

11.a) Euler’s theorem states that a connected graph has an Euler circuit if all vertices have even
degree.

- Check the graph: If it has all even degrees, find an Euler circuit.

- If not, find an Euler trail.

11.b) A Hamiltonian graph has a cycle that visits every vertex exactly once. Check the graph for
Hamiltonian properties.

11.c) Ore's theorem and Dirac's theorem provide sufficient conditions for Hamiltonian graphs. Apply
these to check the graph.

11.d) Write down the adjacency and incidence matrices based on the graph structure.

To determine the existence of an Euler circuit, all vertices must have an even degree, ensuring the path returns to the starting vertex. If a graph is connected but has exactly two vertices of odd degree, it has an Euler trail rather than a circuit. The existence of these depends critically on the degree of the vertices .

The roots of the equation \( x^5 = 1 \) are 1, \( \omega, \omega^2, \omega^3, \omega^4 \) where \( \omega \) is a primitive 5th root of unity. These roots form an Abelian group under multiplication because the operation is commutative and each root can be multiplied with another root to give another root of the equation, satisfying group closure, identity, and inverse properties .

The function f(x) = 11x + 1 is bijective because it is both one-to-one and onto. The derivative f'(x) = 11 is positive, ensuring it is strictly increasing, which confirms injectivity. It is onto because for every y in the codomain, there is an x such that f(x) = y, as shown by solving y = 11x + 1 for x, yielding the inverse f^{-1}(y) = (y - 1)/11 .

The relation \( \rho = \{(x, y) \in \mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z} | x \text{ divides } y\} \) is a partial order relation because it satisfies reflexivity, antisymmetry, and transitivity. It is reflexive because any integer x divides itself, antisymmetric because if x divides y and y divides x, then x must equal y, and transitive because if x divides y and y divides z, then x divides z .

The number of diagonals in an n-sided polygon is calculated using the formula \( \frac{n(n-3)}{2} \). For a decagon (10 sides), applying this formula gives \( \frac{10(10-3)}{2} = 35 \) diagonals .

According to the Pigeonhole Principle, when there are 27 English words and only 26 letters in the alphabet, there must be at least two words that start with the same letter. This is because there are more words than available starting letters, creating an unavoidable overlap .

To find the identity element e for the operation \( a * b = a + b + 1 \), set a * e = a, which translates to a + e + 1 = a. Solving for e gives e + 1 = 0, so e = -1 .

The outcomes are \( f \circ g(x) = f(g(x)) = f(x^2) = x^2 + 2 \) and \( g \circ f(x) = g(f(x)) = g(x + 2) = (x + 2)^2 = x^2 + 4x + 4 \).

An equivalence relation must be reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. The relation \( \rho = \{(a, b) \in \mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z} | ab \leq 0\} \) is symmetric and reflexive for non-positive integers, but it fails transitivity. For instance, if \( ab \leq 0 \) and \( bc \leq 0 \), it does not guarantee \( ac \leq 0 \).

Ore's theorem states that a graph is Hamiltonian if for every pair of nonadjacent vertices u and v, the degree of u plus the degree of v is at least the number of vertices in the graph. Dirac's theorem adds that if every vertex in a graph with n vertices has degree at least n/2, the graph is Hamiltonian .
