Why Practise These MCQs?

CBSE Class XIIJEE MainJEE Advanced

Relations & Functions opens Class XII by extending Class XI groundwork into proof-style objective questions. CBSE boards frequently test equivalence relations and bijection proofs as assertion-reason MCQs, while JEE Main asks 1–2 direct questions on invertibility and composition every year. This bank mirrors that mix so you build both proof intuition and calculation speed.

Must-Know Formulae Before You Start

Recall these cold before attempting MCQs — they appear in >70% of questions.

$(g \circ f)(x) = g(f(x))$
$f^{-1} \text{ exists iff } f \text{ is bijective}$
$(g \circ f)^{-1} = f^{-1} \circ g^{-1}$
$R \text{ is equivalence iff reflexive, symmetric \& transitive}$

MCQ Solving Strategy

For relation MCQs, check all three properties one at a time and disprove with a single counterexample the moment one fails — don't verify every pair once you've found a break. For function-type questions, test one-one algebraically by assuming f(x₁)=f(x₂) and solving for x₁=x₂, and test onto by solving y=f(x) for x and confirming it lies in the domain. Invertibility MCQs almost always reduce to a bijectivity check first.

⚠ Common Traps & Errors

Difficulty Ladder

Work through each rung in order — do not jump to Hard before mastering Easy.

① Easy

Identify relation properties from a given set, evaluate f(x) and gof(x)

② Medium

Prove a relation is an equivalence relation, verify one-one/onto algebraically

③ Hard

Composition of piecewise functions, invertibility proofs with domain restrictions

★ PYQ

JEE Main — equivalence classes and bijection counts; CBSE — assertion-reason proofs
