(Q) A partially ordered set in which every pair of elements has a unique supremum and infimumAnswer & explanation
Answer: A) Lattice
Meaning: lattice = a regular, criss-cross framework or pattern *(जाली, जालक)*.
#B (P) In chemistry, a crystal lattice is the repeating 3-D arrangement of particles in a solid *(क्रिस्टल जालक)*.
#B (Q) In mathematics (order theory), a lattice is a partially ordered set in which every pair has a least upper bound (*supremum*) and a greatest lower bound (*infimum*).
One word, both definitions.
Why the others are wrong.
#B Matrix = a rectangular array of numbers, or a surrounding substance in which something develops *(आव्यूह, आधात्री)* — not a repeating crystal arrangement nor a poset with sup/inf.
