1.Relation and Function
medium

Let $A=\{-4,-3,-2,0,1,3,4\}$ and $R =\{( a , b ) \in A$ $\times A : b =| a |$ or $\left.b ^2= a +1\right\}$ be a relation on $A$. Then the minimum number of elements, that must be added to the relation $R$ so that it becomes reflexive and symmetric, is $........$.

A

$5$

B

$7$

C

$6$

D

$4$

(JEE MAIN-2023)

Solution

$R=[(-4,4),(-3,3),(3,-2),(0,1),(0,0),(1,1)$, $(4,4),(3,3)\}$

For reflexive, add $\Rightarrow(-2,-2),(-4,-4),(-3,-3)$

For symmetric, add $\Rightarrow(4,-4),(3,-3),(-2,3),(1,0)$
