The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the given relation is a function, we need to analyze the definition of a function and the specifics of the relation provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Sets**: - Let \( B \) be the set of buses: \( B = \{ B_1, B_2, B_3, B_4 \} \). - Let \( P \) be the set of pupils: \( P = \{ P_1, P_2, P_3, P_4 \} \). 2. **Defining the Relation**: - The relation is defined as \( R = \{ (x, y) : x \in B, y \in P, \text{ and } y \text{ is a passenger on } x \} \). - This means that for each bus \( x \), there can be one or more pupils \( y \) who are passengers on that bus. 3. **Checking the Function Criteria**: - A relation is a function if every element in the domain (in this case, the set of buses \( B \)) is associated with exactly one element in the codomain (the set of pupils \( P \)). - In simpler terms, for each bus \( x \), there should be only one pupil \( y \) associated with it. 4. **Analyzing the Relation**: - Consider the possibility that multiple pupils can be passengers on the same bus. For example, pupil \( P_1 \) can be on bus \( B_1 \) and pupil \( P_2 \) can also be on bus \( B_1 \). - This indicates that a single bus \( B_1 \) can have multiple pupils associated with it. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since one bus can have multiple passengers, this violates the definition of a function where each input (bus) must map to exactly one output (pupil). - Therefore, the relation \( R \) is **not a function**. ### Final Answer: **No**, the relation is not a function.
