1. A survey has been taken on methods of computer travel. Each respondent was asked to
check BUS, TRAIN, or AUTOMOBILE as a major method of travelling to work. More
than one answer was permitted. The results reported were as follows: BUS, 30 people;
TRAIN, 35 people; AUTOMOBILE, 100 people; BUS and TRAIN, 15 people; BUS and
AUTOMOBILE, 15 people; TRAIN and AUTOMOBILE, 20 people; and all three
methods, 5 people. How many people completed a survey form?
5. Let A denotes the set of real numbers and a relation R is defined on A such that (a,
b) R(c, d) if and only if a2 + b2 = c2 + d2. Justify that R is an equivalence relation.
6. Let R be the relation R = {(a, b) | a divides b} on the set of positive integers. Find inverse
and complement of R.
7. For each of these relations on the set {1, 2, 3, 4}, decide whether it is reflexive, whether it
is symmetric, whether it is antisymmetric, and whether it is transitive.
i) {(2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4)} ii) {(1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4)}
iii) {(2, 4), (4, 2)} iv) {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4)}
v) {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4)}
8. Suppose that the relation R is irreflexive. Is the relation R2 necessarily irreflexive?
9. Which of these are posets? State the reason of each one.
i) (R, =) ii) (R, <) iii) (R, ≤) iv) (R, ≠)
10. Draw the Hasse diagram for the given posets
i) (D30, /), where Dn is the set of positive divisors of n.
ii) Consider a set S={a, b, c, d}, and the poset (P(S), ⊆) where P(S) is the power set of
the set S.
11. Which of the following posets are lattice? If you find some lattices then state their
types i.e. bounded lattice, complemented lattice, distributive and complete lattice.

12. Define Modular lattice. Let L1 be the lattice defined as (D6, /) and L2 be the lattice (P(S),
⊆), where P(S) be the power set defined on set S= {a, b}. Justify that the two lattices are
isomorphic

16. Let f be a function from A to B. Determine whether each function f is one to one and
whether it is onto

17. Simplify the Boolean function F(A, B, C, D): ∑(1, 3, 7, 11, 12, 13) which has the don't
care condition d(A, B, C, D ): ∑(0, 2, 5, 9) and then express the simplified function in sum
of min-terms form.
