Question
Let R be a relation over the set N×n and it is defined by (a, b) R (c, d)   a+ d = b + c.  Then, R is
Options:
A .  reflexive only
B .  symmetric only
C .  transitive only
D .  an equivalence relation
Answer: Option D
:
D
(a, b) R (a, b) because a + b = b + a. So, r is reflexive.
(a, b)R (c, d) a+d = b+c c+b = d+a
(c,d) R (a,b)
So, R is symmetric.
(a, b) R (c, d) and (c, d) R (e, f)
a + d = b + c, c + f = d + e
Adding, a + d + c + f = b + c + d +e
a + f = b + e
(a, b) R (e, f).
R is transitive.
