Let $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ be two relations defined on $R$ by $a R _{1} b \Leftrightarrow a b \geq 0$ and $a R_{2} b \Leftrightarrow a \geq b$, then

A

$R_{1}$ is an equivalence relation but not $R_{2}$

B

$R_{2}$ is an equivalence relation but not $R_{1}$

C

both $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ are equivalence relations

D

neither $R_{1}$ nor $R_{2}$ is an equivalence relation

(JEE MAIN-2022)

Solution

$R_{1}=\{x y \geq 0, x, y \in R\}$

For reflexive $x \times x \geq 0$ which is true.

For symmetric

If $x y \geq 0 \Rightarrow y x \geq 0$

If $x =2, y =0$ and $z =-2$

Then $x . y \geq 0 \& y . z \geq 0$ but $x . z \geq 0$ is not true $\Rightarrow$ not transitive relation.

$R_{ I }$ is not equivalence

$R _{2}$ if $a \geq b$ it does not implies $b \geq a$

$R_{2}$ is not equivalence relation

$D$
