Let R1 and R2 be relations on the set {1, 2, ......., 50} such that

R1 = {(p, pn) : p is a prime and n ≥\ge 0 is an integer} and

R2 = {(p, pn) : p is a prime and n = 0 or 1}.

Then, the number of elements in R1 −- R2 is _______________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given, R1={(p,pn):p{R}_1=\left\{\left(p, p^n\right): p\right. is a Prime and n≥0n \geq 0 is an integer }\}

and, set A={1,2,3…….50}A=\{1,2,3 \ldots \ldots .50\}

pp is a Prime number which can take 15 values 2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,432,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43 and 47

∴\therefore We can calculate no. of elements in R1\mathrm{R}_1

R1=(2,20),(2,21),(2,22)(2,23)……(2,25)=6\mathrm{R}_1=\left(2,2^0\right),\left(2,2^1\right),\left(2,2^2\right)\left(2,2^3\right) \ldots \ldots\left(2,2^5\right)=6 number of ordered pairs

(3,30),(3,31),(3,32)……..(3,33)=4\left(3,3^0\right),\left(3,3^1\right),\left(3,3^2\right) \ldots \ldots . .\left(3,3^3\right)=4 number of order paris

(5,50),(5,51),(5,52)………..=3\left(5,5^0\right),\left(5,5^1\right),\left(5,5^2\right) \ldots \ldots \ldots . .=3 number of order paris

(7,70)…….(7,72)………=3\left(7,7^0\right) \ldots \ldots .\left(7,7^2\right) \ldots \ldots \ldots=3 number of order paris

(11,110)\left(11,11^0\right) and (11,111)=2\left(11,11^1\right)=2 number of order paris

(13,130)\left(13,13^0\right) and (13,131)=2\left(13,13^1\right)=2 number of order paris

∴\therefore For the 11 prime numbers ( 11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,4311,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43 and 47), nn can only be 0, 1 (two pairs each).

∴n(R1)=6+4+3+3+(2×11)=38\therefore n\left(\mathrm{R}_1\right)=6+4+3+3+(2 \times 11)=38

R2=(p,pn)\mathrm{R}_2=\left(p, p^n\right) , where n = 0 or 1

(2,20),(2,21)(3,30)(3,31)…..(47,470)(47,471)\left(2,2^0\right),\left(2,2^1\right)\left(3,3^0\right)\left(3,3^1\right) \ldots . .\left(47,47^0\right)\left(47,47^1\right)

Two ordered pairs of each element n(R2)=2×15=30n\left({R}_2\right)=2 \times 15=30 elements

Hence R1−R2=38−30=8R_1-R_2=38-30=8
