A structured approach to studying Relations And Functions for NDA Mathematics.

Study Plan for Relations And Functions

1

Day 1–2: Learn the Theory

Study the chapter thoroughly. Note down definitions, formulas, and key concepts.

2

Day 3: Practice Problems

3

Day 4: Revise & Test

Revise key formulas and concepts without looking at notes. Take a practice quiz to test your understanding.

What to Focus On

  • A relation is a subset of Cartesian product
  • Every function is a relation, but not every relation is a function
  • Domain consists of all first elements, range consists of all second elements

  • Reflexive: every element relates to itself
  • Symmetric: if a relates to b, then b relates to a
  • Transitive: if a relates to b and b relates to c, then a relates to c

  • One-to-one: distinct inputs give distinct outputs
  • Onto: every element in codomain is mapped to
  • Bijective: both one-to-one and onto

Common Mistakes to Avoid

If a function is not one-one, then it is many-one. If a function is not onto, then it is into.

A relation R is reflexive if (a,a) ∈ R for some a ∈ A.

Domain and Range of inverse function f⁻¹ are same as domain and range of function f.
