Let $A =\{2,3,4\}$ and $B =\{8,9,12\}$. Then the number of elements in the relation $R=\left\{\left(\left(a_1, b_1\right),\left(a_2, b_2\right)\right) \in(A \times B, A \times B): a_1\right.$ divides $b_2$ and $a_2$ divides $\left.b_1\right\}$ is:
$36$
$12$
$18$
$24$
Let $R_1$ and $R_2$ be two relations on a set $A$ , then choose incorrect statement
Given a non empty set $X$, consider $P ( X )$ which is the set of all subsets of $X$.
Define the relation $R$ in $P(X)$ as follows :
For subsets $A,\, B$ in $P(X),$ $ARB$ if and only if $A \subset B .$ Is $R$ an equivalence relation on $P ( X ) ?$ Justify your answer.
Let $R$ be a relation on the set $N$ of natural numbers defined by $nRm $$\Leftrightarrow$ $n$ is a factor of $m$ (i.e.,$ n|m$). Then $R$ 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?
In order that a relation $R$ defined on a non-empty set $A$ is an equivalence relation, it is sufficient, if $R$
