Let $R$ be the relation defined in the set $A=\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7\}$ by $R =\{(a, b):$ both $a$ and $b$ are either odd or even $\} .$ Show that $R$ is an equivalence relation. Further, show that all the elements of the subset $ \{1,3,5,7\}$ are related to each other and all the elements of the subset $\{2,4,6\}$ are related to each other, but no element of the subset $\{1,3,5,7\}$ is related to any element of the subset $\{2,4,6\} .$
Given any element $a$ in $A$, both $a$ and $a$ must be either odd or even, so that $(a, a) \in R$ Further, $(a, \,b) \in R $ $\Rightarrow$ both $a$ and $b$ must be either odd or even $\Rightarrow(b, a) \in$ $R$ similarly, $(a,\, b) \in R$ and $(b,\, c) \in R$ $\Rightarrow$ all elements $a, \,b,\, c,$ must be either even or odd simultaneously $\Rightarrow(a, \,c) \in R$. Hence, $R$ is an equivalence relation. Further, all the elements of $\{1,3,5,7\}$ are related to each other, as all the elements of this subset are odd. Similarly, all the elements of the subset $ \{2,4,6\} $ are related to each other, as all of them are even. Also, no element of the subset $\{1,3,5,7\}$ can be related to any element of $\{2,4,6\}$ , as elements of $\{1,3,5,7\}$ are odd, while elements of $\{2,4,6\}$ are even.
Let ${R_1}$ be a relation defined by ${R_1} = \{ (a,\,b)|a \ge b,\,a,\,b \in R\} $. Then ${R_1}$ is
In the set $A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$, a relation $R$ is defined by $R = \{(x, y)| x, y$ $ \in A$ and $x < y\}$. Then $R$ is
Show that the relation $R$ defined in the set A of all triangles as $R =\left\{\left( T _{1},\, T _{2}\right):\, T _{1}\right.$ is similar to $\left. T _{2}\right\}$, is equivalence relation. Consider three right angle triangles $T _{1}$ with sides $3,\,4,\,5, \,T _{2}$ with sides $5,\,12\,,13 $ and $T _{3}$ with sides $6,\,8,\,10 .$ Which triangles among $T _{1},\, T _{2}$ and $T _{3}$ are related?
