Correct answer: 18
- Let where and .
Then the condition for the relation becomes which is
- Since , the difference can take integer values from to .
We now check for which integers ,
- Solve separately for each possible value in .
We test small integer values of :
- For :
- For :
- For :
- For :
- For :
For , the value is too large positive or less than except no new values in occur. So the only possible differences are
- Count ordered pairs for each allowed difference.
Case 1:
Then . Since , there are pairs:
Case 2:
Then To keep both , we can choose which gives pairs So the number of such pairs is
- Total number of elements in is
Therefore, the required number of elements is
- Comparison with stored answer:
Stored correct answer = .
This matches our derived answer.
