In order that a relation $R$ defined on a non-empty set $A$ is an equivalence relation, it is sufficient, if $R$
Is reflexive
Is symmetric
Is transitive
Possesses all the above three properties
Let $\mathrm{A}$ be the set of all students of a boys school. Show that the relation $\mathrm{R}$ in A given by $\mathrm{R} =\{(a, b): \mathrm{a} $ is sister of $\mathrm{b}\}$ is the empty relation and $\mathrm{R} ^{\prime}=\{(a, b)$ $:$ the difference between heights of $\mathrm{a}$ and $\mathrm{b}$ is less than $3\,\mathrm{meters}$ $\}$ is the universal relation.
The relation "less than" in the set of natural numbers is
Let a relation $R$ on $\mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N}$ be defined as : $\left(\mathrm{x}_1, \mathrm{y}_1\right) \mathrm{R}\left(\mathrm{x}_2, \mathrm{y}_2\right)$ if and only if $\mathrm{x}_1 \leq \mathrm{x}_2$ or $\mathrm{y}_1 \leq \mathrm{y}_2$
Consider the two statements :
($I$) $\mathrm{R}$ is reflexive but not symmetric.
($II$) $\mathrm{R}$ is transitive
Then which one of the following is true?
Let L be the set of all lines in a plane and $\mathrm{R}$ be the relation in $\mathrm{L}$ defined as $\mathrm{R}=\left\{\left(\mathrm{L}_{1}, \mathrm{L}_{2}\right): \mathrm{L}_{1}\right.$ is perpendicular to $\left. \mathrm{L} _{2}\right\}$. Show that $\mathrm{R}$ is symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive.
If $A$ is the set of even natural numbers less than $8$ and $B$ is the set of prime numbers less than $7$, then the number of relations from $A$ to $B$ is
