Question 1.
Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric and transitive:
(i) Relation R in the set A = {1,2,3,13,14} defined as R = {(x, y): 3x – y = 0}
A = {1, 2, 3,………. 14}
R={(x, y) : 3x – y = 0}
= {(x, y) : y = 3x)
R : {(1,3), (2,6), (3,9), (4,12)}
R is not reflexive as (1,1) ∉ R
R is not symmetric as (1,3) ∈ R but (3,1) ∉ R
R is not transitive as (1,3) ∈ R, (3,9) ∈ R but (1, 9) ∉ R.
To disprove, any counter example is sufficient.

(ii) Relation R in the set N of natural numbers defined as
R = {(x, y) : y = x + 5 and x < 4}
A = {1, 2, 3,………… }
R = {(1,6), (2,7), (3,8)} because x < 4
R is not reflexive as (1,1) ∈ R
R is not symmetric as (2,7) ∈ R but (7,2) ∉  R
R is Transitive as transitivity is not contradicted.

(iii) Relation R in the set A = {1,2,3,4,5,6} as R = {(x, y) : y is divisible by x}
A = {1,2,3,4,5,6}
R={(1, 1),(1,2) …………………… }
As x is divisible by x, (x, x) ∈ R hence R is reflexive.
(3, 6) ∈ R but (6, 3) ∈ R
i.,e 6 is divisible by 3 but 3 is not divisible by 6,hence R is not symmetric
y is divisible by x, z is divisible by y, then z is divisible by x
i.e. (x, y) ∈ R, (y, z) ∈ R ⇒ (x, z) ∈ R hence R is transitive.

(iv) Relation R in the set Z of all integers defined as R = {(x, y) : x -y is an integer)
R is reflexive as x – x = 0 ∈ Z, ∀ x ∈ Z
R is symmetric as x – y ∈ z ⇒ y – x ∈ z
i.e. (x, y) ∈ z ⇒(y – x) ∈ Z
R is transitive as x – y ∈ z, y – x ∈ Z then (x – y) + (y – z) ∈ Z
i.e. (x – z) ∈ Z
i.e. (x, y) R (y, z) ∈ R ⇒ (x, z) ∈ R.

(v) Relation R in the set A of human beings in a town at a particular time given by

(a) R = {(x, y): x and y work at the same place}
R is reflexive as x and x work at the same place
R is symmetric as x and y work at the same place
⇒ y and x work at the same place R is transitive as transitivity does not contradict.

(b) R s {(x, y) : x and y live in the same locality}
R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive (same proof like (a))

(c) R = {(x, y) : x is exactly 7 cm taller than y}
x is not exactly 7 cm taller than x
i.e. (x, x) ∉ R, hence not reflexive
x is 7 cm taller than y does not imply
y is 7 cm taller than x
i.e. (x, y) ∈ R⇒(y, x) ∈ R
Hence not symmetric. Similarly R is not Transitive

(d) R = {(x, y): x is wife of y}
x can’t be the wife of x, hence (x, x) ∉ R,
∴ R is not reflexive.
x is the wife of y⇒y is the wife of x
hence (x, y) ∈ R ⇒(y, x) ∈ R.
hence R is not symmetric
R is transitive as it does not contradict transitivity.

(e) R = {(x, y): x is father of y}
As x can’t be the father of x
(x, x) ∉ R, hence not reflexive.
If x is the father of y then y can’t be the father of x.
i.e. (x, y) ∈ R ⇒(y, x) ∈ R
hence R is not symmetric
x is the father of y, y is the father of z then x is not the father of z
i.e. (x, y) ∈ R (y, z) ∈ R ⇒(x, z) ∈ R
hence R is not transitive.

Question 2.
Show that the relation R in the set R of real numbers, defined as R = {(a, b) : a < b2}, is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.
$$\frac{1}{2}$$ $$\frac{1}{4}$$Not reflexive
a = 2, b = 5 ⇒ (a, b) : 2 ≤ 25, is true
but (b, a) : 5 <4 is not true
hence (a, b) ∈ R⇒(b, a): Not symmetric
a = 3, b = -2, c = -1
(a, b) ∈ R, (b, c) ∈ R
⇒ 3 ≤ 4, -2 ≤ 1
(a, c) ∈ R ⇒ 3 ≤ 1 which is not true
hence (a, b) ∈ R , (b, c) ∈ R⇒(a, c) ∈ R : not transitive.

Question 3.
Check whether the relation R defined in the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} as R = {(a, b) : b = a + 1} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.
R = {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5), (5, 6)}
R is not reflexive as (1, 1) ∉ R
R is not symmetric as (1, 2) ∈ R ⇒(2,1) ∈ R
R is not transitive as (2, 3) ∈ R, (3, 4)e R ⇒(2,4) ∈ R

Question 4.
Show that the relation R in R defined as R = {(a, b) : a <, b}, is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.
(a, a): a ≤ a is true ∀ a ∈ R
hence reflexive
(a, b) ⇒ a ≤ b ⇒b ⇒(b,a) ∈ R
hence R is not symmetric
i.e. (1,3) ⇒ 1 ≤ 3 but (3, 1)⇒3≤1
(a, b) ⇒ a ≤ b, (b, c) ⇒ b ≤ c ⇒ a ≤ c = (a, c) ∈ R
hence R is transitive.

Question 5.
Check whether the relation R in R defined by R = {(a, b) : a < b3} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.
$$a=\frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{3}$$ $$\frac{1}{27}$$
(a, a) ∈ R ∴ not reflexive
a= 1, b = 2
(a,b) ∈ R ⇒<8
(b, a) ∈ R ⇒2 ≤ 1, which is not true
(a, b) ∈ R ⇒ (b, a) ∈ R, hence not symmetric
a = 60, b = 4, c = 3
60 ≤ 43, 4 ≤ 33 ⇒60 ≤ 33
(a, b) ∈ R, (b, c) ∈ R ⇒(a, c) ∈ R. hence R is not transitive.

Question 6.
Show that the relation R in the set {1, 2, 3} given by R = {(1, 2), (2, 1)} is symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive.
(1, 1) ∉ R, hence not reflexive (1, 2) ∈ R
⇒ (2, 1) ∈ R, also (2, 1) ∈  R ⇒ (1,2) ∈ R .
(a, b) ∈ R = 9 (b, a) ∈ R, hence symmetric
(1,2) ∈ R (2, 1) ∈ R but (1, 1) ∈ R hence not transitive.

Question 7.
Show that the relation R in the set A of all the books in a library of a college, given by R = {(x, y) : x and y have same number of pages} is an equivalence relation.
(x, x) ∈ R as x and x have same number of pages. ∀ x ∈ A, hence Reflexive
(x, y) ∈ R ⇒ x and y have same number of pages
⇒ y and x have same number of pages
⇒ 9 (y, x) ∈ R hence Symmetric (x, y) ∈ R and (y, z) ∈ R
⇒ x and y and y and z have same number of pages
⇒ x and z have same number of pages
⇒ 9 (x, z) ∈ R, hence Transitive.
Since R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive, R is an equivalence Relation.

Question 8.
Show that the relation R in the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} given by R = {(a, b) : |a – b| is even}, is an equivalence relation. Show that all the elements of {1, 3, 5} are related to each other and all the elements of {2, 4} are related to each other. But no element of {1, 3, 5} is related to any element of {2, 4}.
(a, a) ∈ R |a – a| =0 is even, which is true
R is reflexive,
a R b and b R c
⇒ |a – b| is even and |b – c| is even
⇒ (a- b) is even and b – c is even
⇒ (a- b) + (b – c) is even
⇒ (a- c) is even ⇒ |a – c| is even
⇒ a R c, hence R is transitive
since R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive
R is an equivalence relation.
|1 – 3| = 2, even, |1 – 5| = 4, even |3 – 5| = 2,
even hence all the elements of {1, 3, 5} are related to each other.
|2 – 4| = 2, even, hence all the elements {2,4} are related to each other.
|1-2| = 1, |3-2| = 1, |5-2| = 3, |1-4| = 3,
|3 – 4| = 1, |5 – 4| = 1, are all odd. Therefore no elements of {1, 3, 5} are related to {2, 4}.

Question 9.
Show that each of the relation R in the set
A = {x ∈ Z : 0 ≤ x ≤ 12}, given by
(i) R = {(a, b): |a – b| is a multiple of 4}
(ii) R = {(a, b) : a = b} is an equivalence relation. Find the set of all elements related to 1 in each case.
A = {0, 1,2,3………… 12}
(i) a R a ⇒ | a – a| = 0 is a multiple of 4 ∀ a ∈ A hence R is reflexive
a R b ⇒ a – b = multiple of 4
⇒ |-(b – a)| = multiple of 4
⇒ |b – a| is a multiple of 4
⇒b R a, hence R is symmetric a R b and b R c
⇒ |a -b| is a multiple of 4 and |b – c| is a multiple of 4
⇒ (a-b) and (b – c) are multiple of 4
⇒ a – b + b – c = a – c is a multiple of 4
⇒ |a – c| is a multiple of 4 ⇒ a R c
hence R is transitive.
Since R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive R is an equivalence relation.
a R 1 ⇒ |a – 1| = m (4)
⇒ a = 1, 5, 9 as
|1 – 1| = 0, |5 – 1| = 4, |9 – 1|= 8 are multiple of 4.
Hence elements related to 1 are {1, 5,9}

(ii) a R a ⇒ a = a ∀ a ∈ A
hence R is reflexive
a R b ⇒ a = b
⇒ b = a ⇒ b R a, hence R is symmetric a R b and b R c
⇒ a = b and b = c
⇒ a = c, = a R c
hence R is transitive
Therefore R is an equivalence Relation,
a R 1 ⇒ a = 1
Therefore the elements related to 1 is {1}

Question 10.
Give an example of a relation. Which is
(i) Symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive.
(1, 1) ∉ R, hence not reflexive (1, 2) ∈ R
⇒ (2, 1) ∈ R, also (2, 1) ∈  R
⇒ (1,2) ∈ R .
(a, b) ∈ R = 9 (b, a) ∈ R, hence symmetric
(1,2) ∈ R (2, 1) ∈ R but (1, 1) ∈ R hence not transitive.

(ii) Transitive but neither reflexive nor symmetric.
Relation R in the set N of natural numbers defined as
R = {(x, y) : y = x + 5 and x < 4}
A = {1, 2, 3,………… }

R is not reflexive as (1,1) ∈ R
R is not symmetric as (2,7) ∈ R but (7,2) ∉  R
R is Transitive as transitivity is not contradicted.

(1, 2) ∈ R, (2,3) ∈ R ⇒(1, 3) ∉ R

(iv) Reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.
(a, a): a ≤ a is true ∀ a ∈ R
hence reflexive
(a, b) ⇒ a ≤ b ⇒b ⇒(b,a) ∈ R
hence R is not symmetric
i.e. (1,3) ⇒ 1 ≤ 3 but (3, 1) ⇒3≤1
(a, b) ⇒ a ≤ b, (b, c) ⇒ b ≤ c ⇒ a ≤ c = (a, c) ∈ R
hence R is transitive.

(v) Symmetric and transitive but not reflexive.
R = (1, 2), (2, 1), (1, 1), (2, 2)} an A= {1,2,3}
(3, 3) ∉ R, hence not reflexive.

Further, show that the set of all points related to a point P*(0, 0) is the circle passing through P with origin as centre.
Let the origin be 0
R={(P, Q): |0 P| = |0 Q|}
(P, P) ∈ R ⇒ |o p| = |o p| which is true
hence R is reflexive
(P, Q) ∈ R =|0 P| = |0 Q|
⇒ |o Q| = |o p|
⇒ (Q, P) ∈ R
hence R is symmetric (P, Q) ∈ R and (Q, R) ∈ R
⇒ |o p| = |o q| and |o q| = |o r|
⇒ |o p| = |o r|
⇒  (P, R) ∈ R
hence R is transitive.
∴ R is an equivalence relation.
set of points related to P ≠ 0
= {Q ∈ A : (Q, P) ∈ R
= | Q ∈ A : |0 Q| = |0P|}
= {Q ∈ A : Q lies on a circle through P and with center 0}.

(T1, T1) ∈ R ⇒ T1 is similar to T1 which is true. Hence R is reflexive
(T1, T2)∈ R  ⇒ T1 is similar to T2
⇒ T2 is similar to T1
⇒ (T2, T,) ∈ 2
hence R is symmetric
(T1, T2) ∈ R, (T2, T3) ∈ R
⇒ T is similar to T2, T2 is similar to T3
⇒ T1 is similar to T3
⇒(T1,T3) ∈ R

(P, P) ∈ R as P and P have same number of sides hence R is reflexive.
(P, Q) ∈ R ⇒ P and Q have same number of sides
⇒ Q and P have same number of sides
⇒ (Q,P) ∈ R
hence R is symmetric
(P, Q) ∈ R and (Q, R) ∈ R
⇒ P and Q have number of sides, Q and R have same number of sides. P and R have same number of side
⇒ (P, R) ∈ R
hence R is transitive
∴ R is an equivalence Relation
T is a Triangle
(P, T) ∈ R
