Question:

Let $R=\left\{ \left(3,3\right) \left(5,5\right), \left(9,9\right), \left(12,12\right), \left(5,12\right), \left(3,9\right), \left(3,12\right), \left(3,5\right)\right\}$ be a relation on the set $A=\left\{3,5,9,12\right\}$. Then, $R$ is:

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Let $R=\left\{ \left(3,3\right) \left(5,5\right), \left(9,9\right), \left(12,12\right), \left(5,12\right), \left(3,9\right), \left(3,12\right), \left(3,5\right)\right\}$ be a relation on the set $A=\left\{3,5,9,12\right\}$
Clearly, every element of A is related to itself. Therefore, it is a reflexive.
Now, $R$ is not symmetry because 3 is related to 5 but 5 is not related to 3.
Also $R$ is transitive relation because it satisfies the property that if a R b and b R c then $a\,R\,c.$

Functions

A function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs with the property that each input is related to exactly one output. Let A & B be any two non-empty sets, mapping from A to B will be a function only when every element in set A has one end only one image in set B.

Kinds of Functions

The different types of functions are - 

One to One Function: When elements of set A have a separate component of set B, we can determine that it is a one-to-one function. Besides, you can also call it injective.

Many to One Function: As the name suggests, here more than two elements in set A are mapped with one element in set B.

Moreover, if it happens that all the elements in set B have pre-images in set A, it is called an onto function or surjective function.

Also, if a function is both one-to-one and onto function, it is known as a bijective. This means, that all the elements of A are mapped with separate elements in B, and A holds a pre-image of elements of B.
