Inverse Relation Defined by \( y=x-3 \)

📺 Video Explanation

📝 Question

A relation \( R \) is defined from:

\[ A=\{11,12,13\}, \quad B=\{8,10,12\} \]

by:

\[ y=x-3 \]

Find the inverse relation \(R^{-1}\).

  • (a) \(\{(8,11),(10,13)\}\)
  • (b) \(\{(11,8),(13,10)\}\)
  • (c) \(\{(10,13),(8,11),(8,10)\}\)
  • (d) none of these

✅ Solution

🔹 Step 1: Find relation \(R\)

Relation from \(A\) to \(B\) means:

\[ R=\{(x,y): y=x-3\} \]


🔹 Check each element of A

  • For \(x=11\): \[ y=11-3=8 \] So: \[ (11,8) \]
  • For \(x=12\): \[ y=9 \] But \(9\notin B\), so reject.
  • For \(x=13\): \[ y=10 \] So: \[ (13,10) \]

🔹 Relation \(R\)

\[ R=\{(11,8),(13,10)\} \]


🔹 Inverse Relation

Inverse relation is obtained by reversing each ordered pair:

\[ R^{-1}=\{(8,11),(10,13)\} \]


🎯 Final Answer

\[ \boxed{R^{-1}=\{(8,11),(10,13)\}} \]

✔ Correct option: (a)


🚀 Exam Shortcut

  • First find valid ordered pairs
  • Inverse means swap coordinates
  • Only keep values belonging to given sets
