Which of the following proposition is a tautology?
If N denote the set of all natural numbers and R be the relation on N
symmetric only
reflexive only
transitive only
an equivalence relation
D.
an equivalence relation
For (a, b), (c, d)
(a, b) R (c, d)
Reflexive: Since, ab(b + a) = ba(a + b), ∀ ab ∈ N
So, R is reflexive.
Symmetric: For (a, b), (c, d)
Let (a, b) R (c, d)
So, R is symmetric.
Transitive: For(a, b), (c, d), (e, f) ∈ N
Let (a, b) R (c, d), (c, d) R (e, f)
On multiplying Eq. (i) by ef and Eq. (ii) by ab, then we get
adbef + adcef + cfdab + cfeab
= bcaef + bcdef + decab + defab
So, R is transitive.
Hence R is an equivalence relation.
