Let $$f:\,A\, \to B$$ be a function, and let E and F be subsets of A. Consider the following statements about images.

$$S1:\,f\,\left( {E\, \cup \,F} \right)\, = \,f\left( E \right)\, \cup \,f\,\left( F \right)$$
$$S2:\,f\,\left( {E\, \cap \,F} \right)\, = \,f\left( E \right)\, \cap \,f\,\left( F \right)$$
Which of the following is true about S1 and S2?

Let P(S) denote the power set of a set S. Which of the following is always true?

A relation R is defined on the set of integers as zRy if f (x + y) is even. Which of the following statements is true?

(a) Mr. X claims the following:
If a relation R is both symmetric and transitive, then R is reflexive. For this, Mr. X offers the following proof.

"From xRy, using symmetry we get yRx. Now because R is transitive, xRy and yRx togethrer imply xRx. Therefore, R is reflextive."

Briefly point out the flaw in Mr. X' proof.

(b) Give an example of a relation R which is symmetric and transitive but not reflexive.
