Let X= R R . Define a relation R on X as : (a₁, b₁ ) R (a₂, b₂ ) b₁=b₂ Statement I : R is an equivalence relation. Statement II : For some (a, b) X , the set S= (x, y) X:(x, y) R(a, b) represents a line parallel to y=x . In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are false
- BStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- DStatement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer
B. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Step-by-step solution
Reflexive : (a₁, b ) R (a₁, b₁ ) b₁=b₁ True . array rl Symmetric : & (a₁, b₁ ) R (a₂, b₂ ) b₁=b₂ & (a₂, b₂ ) R (a₁, b₁ ) b₂=b₁ array True aligned Transitive : & (a₁, b₁ ) R (a₂, b₂ ) b₁=b₂ & & (a₂, b₂ ) R (a₃, b₃ ) b₂=b₃ & (a₁, b₁ ) R (a₃ . b₃ ) True b₁=b₃ aligned Hence Relation R is an equivence relation Statement-I is true. For statement - II y = b so False
