Answer :
Range means the set of permissible values of y
Now x and y should lie in a set of natural numbers because the relation is on N
x + 2y = 8
⇒ 2y = 8 – x
⇒ y = 1/2(8 – x) …(i)
Now if we put x > 8 y will be negative which is not in set N (that is not a natural number)
For y to be a natural number (8 – x) has to be an even number
As 8 – x is even, and x has to be less than or equal to 8 hence x can be 8, 6, 4, 2 and 0
Now when we put these values of x in (i), we will get corresponding y values
Hence y = 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively
Hence range is {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}.
