सिद्ध कीजिए कि किसी कॉलेज के पुस्तकालय की समस्त पुस्तकों के समुच्चय $A$ में $R =\{(x, y): x$ तथा $y$ में पेजों की संख्या समान है $\}$ द्वारा प्रदत्त संबंध $R$ एक तुल्यता संबंध है।

Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D

Solution

Set $A$ is the set of all books in the library of a college.

$R =\{ x , y ): x$ and $y$  have the same number of pages $\}$

Now, $R$ is reflexive since $( x , \,x ) \in R$ as $x$ and $x$ has the same number of pages.

Let $( x , \,y ) \in R \Rightarrow x$ and $y$ have the same number of pages.

$\Rightarrow $ $y$ and $x$ have the same number of pages.

$\Rightarrow $  $(y, x) \in R$

$\therefore R$ is symmetric.

Now, let $( x , y ) \in R$ and $( y ,\, z ) \in R$

$\Rightarrow x$ and $y$ and have the same number of pages and $y$ and $z$ have the same number of pages.

$\Rightarrow x$ and $z$ have the same number of pages.

$\Rightarrow $ $(x, z) \in R$

$\therefore R$ is transitive. Hence, $R$ is an equivalence relation.
