Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a set with 50 elements, partition this set into four equal subsets and find the number of ordered pairs within each subset.

💡 Hint: Break down the problem by first finding the size of each subset.

Challenge 2 Hard

Prove that if a relation R on a set A is reflexive and symmetric, it does not imply R is transitive. Provide a counterexample.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how pairing can lead to violations of transitivity.
