A

$11$

B

C

$19$

D

$13$

(JEE MAIN-2023)

Solution

Given $R=\{(a, b),(b, c),(b, d)\}$

In order to make it equivalence relation as per given set, $R$ must be

$\{(a, a),(b, b),(c, c),(d, d),(a, b),(b, a),(b, c),(c, b)$, $(b, d),(d, b),(a, c),(a, d),(c, d),(d, c),(c, a),(d, a)\}$

There already given so $13$ more to be added.
