1.Relation and Function
easy

Let $\mathrm{T}$ be the set of all triangles in a plane with $\mathrm{R}$ a relation in $\mathrm{T}$ given by $\mathrm{R} =\left\{\left( \mathrm{T} _{1}, \mathrm{T} _{2}\right): \mathrm{T} _{1}\right.$ is congruent to $\left. \mathrm{T} _{2}\right\}$ . Show that $\mathrm{R}$ is an equivalence relation.

Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D

Solution

$\mathrm{R}$ is reflexive, since every triangle is congruent to it self.

Further, $\left( \mathrm{T} _{1}, \,\mathrm{T}_{2}\right) \in \mathrm{R} \Rightarrow \mathrm{T} _{1}$ is congruent to $\mathrm{T} _{2} \Rightarrow \mathrm{T} _{2}$ is congruent to $\mathrm{T} _{1} \Rightarrow\left( \mathrm{T} _{2}, \mathrm{T} _{1}\right) \in \mathrm{R} .$

Hence, $\mathrm{R}$ is symmetric.

Moreover, $\left( \mathrm{T} _{1},\, \mathrm{T} _{2}\right),\left( \mathrm{T} _{2}, \,\mathrm{T} _{3}\right) \in \mathrm{R} \Rightarrow \mathrm{T} _{1}$ is congruent to $\mathrm{T} _{2}$ and $\mathrm{T} _{2}$ is congruent to $\mathrm{T} _{3} \Rightarrow \mathrm{T} _{1}$ is congruent to $\mathrm{T} _{3} \Rightarrow\left( \mathrm{T} _{1}, \,\mathrm{T} _{3}\right) \in \mathrm{R}$.

Therefore, $\mathrm{R}$ is an equivalence relation.
