Let the set of all relations \(R\) on the set \(\{a, b, c, d, e, f\}\), such that \(R\) is reflexive and symmetric, and \(R\) contains exactly 10 elements, be denoted by \(S\). Then the number of elements in \(S\) is ______

  1. A 100
  2. B 105
  3. C 110
  4. D 115
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 105

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


For relation to be reflexive all the diagonal elements must be taken and out of remaining 30 elements there are 15 pairs and we need 2 pairs such that R contains exactly 10 elements and is both reflexive and symmetric.
\(\therefore\) number of ways \(={ }^{15} \mathrm{C}_2=105\)
