Solution

To determine which ordered pairs (a,b)(a, b) belong to the relation R={(a,b)a>b}R = \{(a, b) \mid a > b\}, we need to select pairs where the first element aa is greater than the second element bb.

Let's analyze each of the provided pairs:

  • (2,4)(2, 4): 242 \not> 4 (False)
  • (0,0)(0, 0): 000 \not> 0 (False)
  • (3,2)(3, 2): 3>23 > 2 (True)
  • (2,3)(2, 3): 232 \not> 3 (False)
  • (3,4)(3, 4): 343 \not> 4 (False)
  • (1,2)(1, 2): 121 \not> 2 (False)
  • (2,1)(2, 1): 2>12 > 1 (True)
  • (4,1)(4, 1): 4>14 > 1 (True)
  • (2,2)(2, 2): 222 \not> 2 (False)
  • (0,3)(0, 3): 030 \not> 3 (False)
  • (1,4)(1, 4): 141 \not> 4 (False)
  • (4,4)(4, 4): 444 \not> 4 (False)
  • (1,3)(1, 3): 131 \not> 3 (False)
  • (4,3)(4, 3): 4>34 > 3 (True)
  • (1,0)(1, 0): 1>01 > 0 (True)
  • (2,0)(2, 0): 2>02 > 0 (True)
  • (0,4)(0, 4): 040 \not> 4 (False)
  • (3,0)(3, 0): 3>03 > 0 (True)
  • (1,1)(1, 1): 111 \not> 1 (False)
  • (4,0)(4, 0): 4>04 > 0 (True)
  • (3,3)(3, 3): 333 \not> 3 (False)
  • (0,2)(0, 2): 020 \not> 2 (False)
  • (4,2)(4, 2): 4>24 > 2 (True)
  • (3,1)(3, 1): 3>13 > 1 (True)
  • (0,1)(0, 1): 010 \not> 1 (False)

So, the correct pairs that satisfy a>ba > b are:

  • (3,2)(3, 2)
  • (2,1)(2, 1)
  • (4,1)(4, 1)
  • (4,3)(4, 3)
  • (1,0)(1, 0)
  • (2,0)(2, 0)
  • (3,0)(3, 0)
  • (4,0)(4, 0)
  • (4,2)(4, 2)
  • (3,1)(3, 1)

These are the correct options.

Tip: When dealing with relations, it's helpful to visually map out the elements of the sets to better understand the connections between them.
