Short Answer TypeShow that the relation R in the set A of all the books in a library of a college given by R = {(x, y): x and y have same number of pages} is an equivalence relation.
Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric and transitive :
(i) Relation R in the set A = {1, 2, 3,....., 13, 14} defined as R = {(x, y) : 3 x – y = 0}
Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric and transitive :
(ii) Relation R in the set N of natural numbers defined as R = {(x, y) : y = x + 5 and x < 4}
Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric and transitive :
(ii) Relation R in the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} as R = {(x,y) : y is divisible by x}
Relation R is in the set Z given by R = {(x,y) : x – y is an integer} (a) R is reflexive as ( x, x) ∈ R [∴ x – x = 0 is an integer]
(b) R is symmetric as (x,y) ∈ R ⇒ (y, x) ∈ A
[∵ x – y is an integer ⇒ y – x is an integer]
(c) R is transitive as (x, y), (y, z) ∈ R ⇒ (x, z) ∈ R
[∵ if x – y, y – z are integers, then (x – y) + (y – z) = x – z is also in integer]
