The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the relations given in the question and determine the nature of the composition of these relations. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Relations**: - We are given two relations: - \( R \) is a relation from set \( A \) to set \( B \). - \( S \) is a relation from set \( B \) to set \( C \). 2. **Defining the Relations**: - The relation \( R \) can be represented as a subset of the Cartesian product \( A \times B \). This means \( R \subseteq A \times B \). - The relation \( S \) can be represented as a subset of the Cartesian product \( B \times C \). This means \( S \subseteq B \times C \). 3. **Composition of Relations**: - The composition of the relations \( S \) and \( R \), denoted as \( S \circ R \), is defined as follows: - For any element \( a \in A \) and \( c \in C \), the pair \( (a, c) \) is in the relation \( S \circ R \) if there exists some \( b \in B \) such that \( (a, b) \in R \) and \( (b, c) \in S \). 4. **Resulting Relation**: - From the definition of the composition, we can conclude that \( S \circ R \) is a relation from set \( A \) to set \( C \) because it connects elements from \( A \) to elements in \( C \) through the intermediary set \( B \). 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the relation \( S \circ R \) is indeed a relation from \( A \) to \( C \). ### Final Answer: - The correct option is **a) is from A to C**.
