Best answer

A = {1, 2, 3, 4} and B = {1, 5, 9, 11, 15, 16}
∴ A × B = {(1, 1), (1, 5), (1, 9), (1, 11), (1, 15), (1, 16), (2, 1), (2, 5), (2, 9), (2, 11),
(2, 15), (2, 16), (3, 1), (3, 5), (3, 9), (3, 11), (3, 15), (3, 16), (4, 1), (4, 5), (4, 9), (4, 11), (4, 15), (4, 16)}
It is given that f = {(1, 5), (2, 9), (3, 1), (4, 5), (2, 11)}
(i) A relation from a non-empty set A to a non-empty set B is a subset
of the Cartesian product A × B.
It is observed that f is a subset of A × B.
Thus, f is a relation from A to B.
(ii) Since the same first element i.e., 2 corresponds to two different
images i.e., 9 and 11, relation f is not a function.
