Is chapter mein hum sets ke beech relation (sambandh) aur mapping (phalane) ke baare mein padhenge. Ye chapter Class 12 Maths ka pehla chapter hai aur calculus, algebra aur real-life applications ke liye foundation provide karta hai. Yahan hum different types of relations, functions, aur unke properties ko examples ke saath samjhenge.
Do sets A aur B ke beech ek relation R, A × B ka ek subset hota hai. Yaani, ordered pairs (a, b) jahan a ∈ A aur b ∈ B. Agar (a, b) ∈ R, to hum likhte hain a R b.
Set A se set B mein ek function f ek aisa relation hota hai jismein A ke har element ka exactly ek hi image B mein hota hai. Write f: A → B.
Agar f: A → B aur g: B → C do functions hain, to unka composition gof: A → C is tarah define hota hai: (gof)(x) = g(f(x)).
Ek function f invertible hota hai agar uska inverse function f⁻¹ exist kare. Iske liye f ko bijective hona zaroori hai. Inverse function ko f⁻¹(y) = x, jahan f(x) = y.
Example 1: Check karo ki kya relation R = {(1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (1,2), (2,1)} set {1,2,3} par reflexive, symmetric, transitive hai?
Solution: Reflexive? Haan, kyunki (1,1), (2,2), (3,3) hain. Symmetric? Haan, (1,2) aur (2,1) dono hain. Transitive? Haan, check karo: (1,2) aur (2,1) se (1,1) milta hai jo already hai. To ye ek equivalence relation hai.
Example 2: f: R → R, f(x) = 2x + 3. Kya f invertible hai?
Solution: f injective hai kyunki agar 2x+3 = 2y+3 to x=y. Surjective hai kyunki kisi bhi y ke liye x = (y-3)/2 milta hai. To bijective hai, isliye invertible. Inverse f⁻¹(y) = (y-3)/2.
