  1. A \(\{1,2,3\}\)
  2. B \(\{2,4,6\}\)
  3. C \(\{2,4,8\}\)
  4. D \(\{2,4,6,8\}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\{2,4,6\}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The relation \(R\) is defined on natural numbers \(N = \{1, 2, 3, ...\}\) by the equation \(x + 2y = 8\). To find the domain, we solve for \(x\) in terms of \(y\): \(x = 8 - 2y\). Since \(x\) must be a natural number, \(x \ge 1\). Substituting the expression for \(x\):…
