Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4} and R be a relation on the set A x A defined by R = {((a, b), (c, d)): 2a + 3b = 4c + 5d}. Then the number of elements in R is

Given,
Set A= {1,2,3,4}
And relation on A x A as 2a + 36 = 4c + 5d
Now, Maximum value of 2a + 3b = 20 at (4, 4)
And Minimum value of 4c + 5d = 9 at (1, 1)
So, 4c + 5d can be equal to 9, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19
Now 2a + 36 can be 9 if (a, b) = (3, l)
(c, d) = (l, 1)
Similarly, 2a +3b can be 13, if (a, b) = (2, 3)
(c, d) = (2, 1)
And 2a + 3b can be 14, if (a, b) = (4, 2) or (1, 4)
(c, d) = (1, 2)
Similarly, 2a +3b can be 17, if (a, b) = (4, 3)
(c, d) = (3, 1)
And 2a + 3b can be 18 if (a, b) = (3, 4)
(c, d) = (2,2)
Hence, there are total 6 elements which satisfy the given relation.
