Correct answer: 18

  1. Let x=a−bx=a-bx=a−b where (a,b)∈A×A(a,b)\in A\times A(a,b)∈A×A and A={1,2,3,…,10}A=\{1,2,3,\dots,10\}A={1,2,3,…,10}.

Then the condition for the relation becomes 2(a−b)2+3(a−b)∈B={0,1,2,3,4}2(a-b)^2+3(a-b)\in B=\{0,1,2,3,4\}2(a−b)2+3(a−b)∈B={0,1,2,3,4} which is 2x2+3x∈{0,1,2,3,4}.2x^2+3x\in\{0,1,2,3,4\}.2x2+3x∈{0,1,2,3,4}.

  1. Since a,b∈{1,2,…,10}a,b\in\{1,2,\dots,10\}a,b∈{1,2,…,10}, the difference x=a−bx=a-bx=a−b can take integer values from −9-9−9 to 999.

We now check for which integers xxx, 2x2+3x∈{0,1,2,3,4}.2x^2+3x\in\{0,1,2,3,4\}.2x2+3x∈{0,1,2,3,4}.

  1. Solve separately for each possible value in BBB.

We test small integer values of xxx:

  • For x=0x=0x=0: 2(0)2+3(0)=0∈B2(0)^2+3(0)=0\in B2(0)2+3(0)=0∈B
  • For x=1x=1x=1: 2(1)2+3(1)=2+3=5∉B2(1)^2+3(1)=2+3=5\notin B2(1)2+3(1)=2+3=5∈/B
  • For x=−1x=-1x=−1: 2(1)+3(−1)=2−3=−1∉B2(1)+3(-1)=2-3=-1\notin B2(1)+3(−1)=2−3=−1∈/B
  • For x=2x=2x=2: 2(4)+6=14∉B2(4)+6=14\notin B2(4)+6=14∈/B
  • For x=−2x=-2x=−2: 2(4)−6=2∈B2(4)-6=2\in B2(4)−6=2∈B

For ∣x∣≥3|x|\ge 3∣x∣≥3, the value 2x2+3x2x^2+3x2x2+3x is too large positive or less than 000 except no new values in {0,1,2,3,4}\{0,1,2,3,4\}{0,1,2,3,4} occur. So the only possible differences are x=0,−2.x=0,-2.x=0,−2.

  1. Count ordered pairs (a,b)(a,b)(a,b) for each allowed difference.

Case 1: a−b=0a-b=0a−b=0

Then a=ba=ba=b. Since a,b∈A={1,2,…,10}a,b\in A=\{1,2,\dots,10\}a,b∈A={1,2,…,10}, there are 101010 pairs: (1,1),(2,2),…,(10,10).(1,1),(2,2),\dots,(10,10).(1,1),(2,2),…,(10,10).

Case 2: a−b=−2a-b=-2a−b=−2

Then a=b−2orb=a+2.a=b-2\quad\text{or}\quad b=a+2.a=b−2orb=a+2. To keep both a,b∈{1,2,…,10}a,b\in\{1,2,\dots,10\}a,b∈{1,2,…,10}, we can choose a=1,2,…,8a=1,2,\dots,8a=1,2,…,8 which gives pairs (1,3),(2,4),…,(8,10).(1,3),(2,4),\dots,(8,10).(1,3),(2,4),…,(8,10). So the number of such pairs is 8.8.8.

  1. Total number of elements in RRR is 10+8=18.10+8=18.10+8=18.

Therefore, the required number of elements is 18.\boxed{18}.18​.

  1. Comparison with stored answer:

Stored correct answer = 181818.

This matches our derived answer.
