Give an example of a relation with the following characteristics: The relation is a function containing 2 ordered pairs. Reversing the components in each ordered pair results in a relation that is not a function. Explain why your example works. Solution Such a relation is {(2,5);(3,5)}. This is a function. But on on reversing the components of ordered pairs we get a relation as: {(5,2);(5,3)} which is not a function. This is because for a relation to be a function,there is assigned exactly one element of the range to each element of the domain which is violated here[both 2 and 3 of the range being assigned to one element of domain, i.e.5].
