Let the set of all relations R on the set {a, b, c, d, e, f}, such that R is reflexive and symmetric, and R contains exactly 10 elements, be denoted by 𝒮. Then the number of elements in 𝒮 is .

Answer: 105

Solution

Reflexivity forces all 6 diagonal pairs (x, x) into R, leaving 4 more elements. Symmetry means off-diagonal pairs come in
