“Class 12 Maths 🔥| Relation and Functions Most Important Questions | Wake Up! with Ushank Sir”

Main Ideas, Concepts, and Lessons

1. Introduction to Relations and Functions

The chapter revisits relations and functions from Class 11 and extends them for Class 12.
Emphasis on NCERT as the primary resource (“NCERT is the God of this chapter”).
A “reality check” encourages students to solve at least 60% of the chapter questions by hand.

2. Relations

Definition: A relation is a subset of the Cartesian product ( A \times B ), where ( A ) and ( B ) are sets.
Number of Relations: For sets ( A ) with ( m ) elements and ( B ) with ( n ) elements, the number of relations from ( A ) to ( B ) is ( 2^{m \times n} ).
Explanation of set-builder and roster forms of relations with examples.
Domain and Range:
- Domain: Set of all first elements in ordered pairs.
- Range: Set of all second elements.

3. Types of Relations

Reflexive: Every element relates to itself (all pairs ( (a,a) ) must be present).
Symmetric: If ( (a,b) ) is in the relation, then ( (b,a) ) must also be present.
Transitive: If ( (a,b) ) and ( (b,c) ) are in the relation, then ( (a,c) ) must be present.
Equivalence Relation: A relation that is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
Examples and tests for these properties are discussed with sample relations.

4. Functions

A function is a special type of relation where no two ordered pairs have the same first element (domain element).
All functions are relations, but not all relations are functions.
Types of functions:
- One-One (Injective): Each domain element maps to a unique element in the range.
- Onto (Surjective): Every element of the codomain is mapped by some element of the domain.
- Bijective: Both one-one and onto; invertible functions.
Examples and explanations of injective, surjective, and bijective functions.
Some functions are neither one-one nor onto.

5. Formulas and Important Results

Number of reflexive relations on a set with ( n ) elements: [ 2^{n^2 - n} ]
Number of symmetric relations: [ 2^{\frac{n(n+1)}{2}} \quad \text{(approximate formula)} ]
Number of reflexive and symmetric relations combined: [ 2^{\frac{n^2 - n}{2}} ]
Number of one-one functions (injective mappings) from set ( A ) with ( m ) elements to set ( B ) with ( n ) elements: [ nP_m \quad \text{(permutations)} ]
Number of onto functions formulas discussed but noted as rarely asked in CBSE exams.
Emphasis on understanding formulas conceptually rather than rote memorization.

6. Equivalence Classes

Equivalence classes partition a set based on an equivalence relation.
Example: Relation defined by divisibility conditions (e.g., ( m(a - b) ) divisible by 4) is an equivalence relation.
Equivalence classes group elements related to each other under the equivalence relation.

7. Problem Solving and Examples

Multiple example problems on:
- Checking reflexivity, symmetry, transitivity of given relations.
- Determining if a given relation is an equivalence relation.
- Proving functions are one-one or onto.
- Finding domain and range of relations/functions.
- Working with specific functions such as ( f(x) = \frac{2}{x} ), ( f(x) = \frac{x}{1+x} ), and quadratic relations.
Use of set-builder notation and roster form for clarity.
Explanation of common student mistakes and how to avoid them.

8. Exam Preparation Tips

Focus on conceptual understanding rather than excessive practice.
NCERT questions and previous year questions (PYQ) are crucial.
Use of “Winner Series” and 35-day challenge books for structured practice.
Practice with proper notes, PPTs, and solved examples.
Crash course on CUET preparation announced.
Encouragement to solve questions honestly and consistently.

9. Additional Notes

The teacher shares personal anecdotes and motivational messages.
Encourages students to stay focused and not get discouraged.
Emphasizes the importance of understanding the logic behind formulas and proofs.
Mentions the launch of new books and study materials available on Amazon.

Methodology / Instructions

For Relations

Understand sets ( A ) and ( B ).
Calculate Cartesian product ( A \times B ).
Identify subsets of ( A \times B ) as relations.
Check for reflexivity by verifying all ( (a,a) ) pairs.
Check for symmetry by verifying if ( (a,b) \in R \Rightarrow (b,a) \in R ).
Check for transitivity by verifying if ( (a,b), (b,c) \in R \Rightarrow (a,c) \in R ).
If all three hold, the relation is an equivalence relation.

For Functions

Verify that each domain element maps to exactly one range element.
Check for one-one by ensuring no two domain elements map to the same range element.
Check for onto by ensuring every element in codomain has a pre-image.
Use algebraic methods (e.g., solving equations) to prove injectivity/surjectivity.
Understand inverse functions exist only for bijections.

For Equivalence Classes

Identify equivalence relation.
Group elements into classes where each element relates to every other in the class.
Use modular arithmetic or divisibility rules as examples.

Exam Preparation

Read and solve NCERT questions thoroughly.
Practice previous year questions and important formulas.
Use structured study materials like PPTs and challenge books.
Focus on conceptual clarity to solve questions automatically.
Use examples and counterexamples to understand properties.
