1. Let A D f1; 2; 3; : : : 9g and R be the relation in A A defined by .a; b/ R .c; d / if a C d D b C c for
.a; b/; .c; d / in A A. Prove that R is an equivalence relation. Also obtain the equivalence class Œ.2; 5/
2. Show that the relation R defined by .a; b/ R .c; d / ) a C d D b C c on the set N N is an equivalence
relation.
3. Show that the relation S in the set A D fx 2 Z W 0 x 12g given by S D f.a; b/ : a; b 2 Z; ja bj is
divisible by 4g is an equivalence relation. Find the set of all elements related to 1.
4. Let N denote the set of all natural numbers and R be the relation on N N defined by .a; b/ R .c; d / such
that ad D bc 8.a; b/.c; d / 2 N N. Show that R is an equivalence relation on N N
5. Let set A D f1; 2; 3g: R1 and R2 are relations on A given by R1 D f.1; 2/.2; 2/g and
R2 D f.1; 1/.2; 2/.1; 3/.3; 1/g. Determine whether R1 and R2 are reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
6. Let R be the equivalence relation in the set Z of integers given by R D f.a; b/ W 2 divides a bg. Show that
R is an equivalence relation. Write the equivalence class Œ0.
