True —False (Penality: 3 wrong answers cancel 1 right answer)
(a) f° (AU B)= f° (A)U f° (B)
(b) ffAN B= ffA0 fB®
(c) f(f (B)=Bo Im(f) (for every subset B of codomain(f) )
(d) Ris transitive > R© istransitive (Recall: (x,y)eR° iff (V,x)eER )
(ce) R, & R, are transitive > RLUR, is transitive
fisl-landgisonto > go f is bijective
{A#¢ & AxBCAxC}SBcC
(h) f &gareonto = (fg): Xx Y> AxB is onto
(where (f,g) (x, y) = (f(x), g(y)) ) and f:X >A & g:Y—B are functions)
fofef hasaninverse > f hasaninverse. (f:X —> X is a function)
@) f:X 3X isl|-1 => f is bijective

In Counting Problems BOX YOUR FINAL ANSWERS
8. In how many ways can distribute 40 identical scholarships over 5 universities {U,,
(a) If U, gets atleast 5 scholarships & every other university should gets at least (min) 3 scholarships.
BOX YOUR FINAL ANSWER
(b) If cach university should gets at most (max) 16 scholarships. BOX YOUR FINAL ANSWER
Hint: Take the complement & use Inclusion-Exclusion
9, In how many ways can distribute 30 different scholarships over 5 universities {A, B, C, D, E}
(i) If A gets exactly (any) 3 , B gets exactly (any) 7 scholarships,
and each of C, D & E gets at least 1 scholarship. BOX YOUR FINAL ANSWER
(ii) If A gets exactly (any) 3, B gets exactly (any) 7 scholarships,
and each of D & E gets at least 1 scholarship (i.e C may get nothing)
Hint: Take 2 cases
10. Suppose s(#)= n° + O(n’) and t(n)=n' +O(n’),
+0(n*),
Find the smallest possible k such that s(7)¢(#t) = ni4
11. True-—False If false, give a Counter example
Reminder: A poset is called normal if each 2 elements have an upper bound and a lower bound
meceeee (a) Every chain is a normal poset
wennnee (b) Every normal poset is a chain
------- (c) Every maximal element of a normal poset is a maximum element.
neeeeee (d) The poset (R,<) is well-ordered .
wanna (e) The filing product of chains is a chain.
weenee (f) The cartesian product of chains is a chain.
soreon- (2) The poset { 0f1,2.3,.4,5,6} — {1,2,3.4,5,6}, C} is a normal poset
nesees (h) The poset { g2{1,2,3,4,5,6} — {1,2,3,4,5}, C} is a normal poset
oo (i) If a finite poset has a unique maximal element M, then M is a maximum .
wees (j) If a infinite poset has a unique maximal element M, then M is a maximum .
12. True- False (Penality: 3 wrong answers cancel | right answer)
Reminder: Infinite countable sets are bijective
beeeeenenes (a) Zx Zand Qx@Q are bijective sets
beceeeeeeees (b) M.,(@) and (Q- N) are bijective sets
(c) There exists over 40,000,000 uncountable sets no two of which are bijective
(d) INF SEQ{0,1} is an uncountable set (See Notation below)
beceeteeeeee (e) R° is bijective to fO(R°)
bebe eeneeee () R is bijective totheinterval (0,1)
Leceeeeeeeees (g) R is bijective to IRR=R-Q
(h) The set of points in the space with integer coordinates is a countable set
wonnccennee (i) the set of all polynomials with coefficients in Q is a countable set.
Notation:
N= The set of natural numbers
Z= The set of integers
Q- The set of rational numbers
R= The set of real numbers
M,,,,(S) =The set of nxn matrices with entriesin S
§2(S) = The power set of S
INFSEQ (S) = The set of all infinite sequences with elements in S
