Question:medium

Let \( Z \) be the set of all integers,
\( A = \{(x, y) \in Z \times Z : (x - 2)^2 + y^2 \leq 4\} \),
\( B = \{(x, y) \in Z \times Z : x^2 + y^2 \leq 4\} \) and
\( C = \{(x, y) \in Z \times Z : (x - 2)^2 + (y - 2)^2 \leq 4\} \)
If the total number of relations from \( A \cap B \) to \( A \cap C \) is \( 2^p \), then the value of \( p \) is :

Show Hint

When finding integer points inside a circle, it's efficient to iterate through possible integer values of y and solve the resulting inequality for integer values of x. This systematic approach ensures no points are missed.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

To solve this problem, we need to compute the set of integer points for the sets \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\), and then find their intersections \(A \cap B\) and \(A \cap C\). Finally, we calculate the number of relations from \(A \cap B\) to \(A \cap C\).

**Step 1: Identify integer points in \(A\)**

The set \(A = \{(x, y) \in Z \times Z : (x - 2)^2 + y^2 \leq 4\}\) represents the set of points within or on the boundary of a circle centered at \((2, 0)\) with radius 2. The integer solutions are:

  • \((2, 0)\)
  • \((1, 0)\)
  • \((3, 0)\)
  • \((2, 1)\)
  • \((2, -1)\)
  • \((1, 1)\)
  • \((1, -1)\)
  • \((3, 1)\)
  • \((3, -1)\)

Thus, \(|A| = 9\).

**Step 2: Identify integer points in \(B\)**

The set \(B = \{(x, y) \in Z \times Z : x^2 + y^2 \leq 4\}\) represents points within or on the boundary of a circle centered at \((0, 0)\) with radius 2. The integer solutions are:

  • \((0, 0)\)
  • \((1, 0)\)
  • \((-1, 0)\)
  • \((0, 1)\)
  • \((0, -1)\)
  • \((2, 0)\)
  • \((-2, 0)\)
  • \((0, 2)\)
  • \((0, -2)\)
  • \((1, 1)\)
  • \((1, -1)\)
  • \((-1, 1)\)
  • \((-1, -1)\)

Thus, \(|B| = 13\).

**Step 3: Identify integer points in \(C\)**

The set \(C = \{(x, y) \in Z \times Z : (x - 2)^2 + (y - 2)^2 \leq 4\}\) represents a circle centered at \((2, 2)\) with radius 2. The integer solutions are:

  • \((2, 2)\)
  • \((1, 2)\)
  • \((3, 2)\)
  • \((2, 3)\)
  • \((2, 1)\)

Thus, \(|C| = 5\).

**Step 4: Compute \(A \cap B\) and \(A \cap C\)**

  1. \(A \cap B\): Intersection of points in \(A\) and \(B\).
  2. Common points in \(A\) and \(B\) are: \((1, 0), (2, 0), (1, 1), (1, -1)\).
  3. So, \(|A \cap B| = 4\).
  4. \(A \cap C\): Intersection of points in \(A\) and \(C\).
  5. Common points in \(A\) and \(C\) are: \((2, 2), (1, 2), (3, 2), (2, 1)\).
  6. So, \(|A \cap C| = 4\).

**Step 5: Calculate the number of relations from \(A \cap B\) to \(A \cap C\)**

The total possible relations from one set with 4 elements to another set with 4 elements is \(4^4 = 256\). Therefore, the total number of relations is \(2^8 = 256\), implying \(p = 8\).

Since the correct calculation should lead to the conclusion that total relations \(= 2^m\), where \(m\) was presented as the answer and here due to recalculated steps, it suggests \(p = 25\) by misinterpretation of problem. Let's check landmark conditions.

**Conclusion**: After reconciling computation mismatch that triggered \(A\) set initially for intersected points (as illustrated correctly), \(2^8 = 256\) does answer option \(p = 8\). Consider corrections where \(|R| = 16\).
