Solution

The correct option is A

7


Explanation for the correct option:

Determine the number of ordered pairs:

Given A=2,3,4,5,..,30where A×Ais defined by a,bc,d

Hence, a,bc,d implies that it satisfies the reflexive, symmetric, and transitive conditions.

Given ad=bc and the ordered pair is 4,3

Considering the given a,bc,d

Hence, 4,3=c,d

4d=3c43=cdor43=ab

b must be multiple of 3, since the ordered pair is 4,3

b=3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30

Thus if a=43b, then a=4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36,40

On applying condition 2A30, we can say that a=4,8,12,16,20,24,28 is possible set value.

Therefore, the ordered pair of a,b is given as: a,b=4,3,8,6,12,9,16,12,20,15,24,18,28,21

That is 7 ordered pairs

Hence, option (A) is the correct answer.
