Let R be the real line. Consider the following subsets of the plane R × R. $S=\{(x,y):y=x+1\,and\,0<x<2\}$ $T=\{(x,y):x-y\,is\,an\,integer\}$ Which one of the following is true? |
Neither S nor T is an equivalence relation on R Both S and T are equivalence relations on R S is an equivalence relation on R but T is not T is an equivalence relation on R but S is not |
T is an equivalence relation on R but S is not |
$T=\{(x,y):x-y∈Z$ As $0 ∈ zT$ is a reflexive relation If $x - y ∈ z ⇒ y - x ∈ z$ ∴ T is symmetrical also If $x - y = z_1$ and $y-x=z_2$ Then $x-z=(x-y)+(y-z)=z_1+z_2∈ z$ ∴ T is also transitive. Hence T is an equivalence relation Clearly $x≠x+1⇒(x,x)∈S$ ∴ S is not reflexive |
