  ##### Solution :-
  
  Given,
  
  A = {1, 2, 3, 4} and B = {1, 5, 9, 11, 15, 16}
  
  So,
  
  A × B = {(1, 1), (1, 5), (1, 9), (1, 11), (1, 15), (1, 16), (2, 1),
  
  (2, 5), (2, 9), (2, 11), (2, 15), (2, 16), (3, 1), (3, 5), (3, 9),
  
  (3, 11), (3, 15), (3, 16), (4, 1), (4, 5), (4, 9), (4, 11), (4, 15), (4, 16)}
  
  Also given that,
  
  f = {(1, 5), (2, 9), (3, 1), (4, 5), (2, 11)}
  
  (i) A relation from a non-empty set A to a non-empty set B is a subset of the Cartesian product A × B.
  
  It’s clearly seen that f is a subset of A × B.
  
  Therefore, f is a relation from A to B.
  
  (ii) As the same first element If we check carefully, we see that the first element 2 is providing us two different value of the image 9,11 .
  
  So, it can be concluded that f is not a function from A to B.
