If R is the smallest equivalence relation on the set 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 such that ( 1 , 2 ) , ( 1 , 3 ) ⊂ R , then the number of elements in R is ______.

Options

  1. A10
  2. B12
  3. C8
  4. D15

Correct answer

A. 10

Step-by-step solution

Given: R = 1 , 3 , 1 , 2 To make R as Reflexive, the required elements are 1 , 1 , 2 , 2 , 3 , 3 and 4 , 4 To make R as Symmetric, the required elements are 3 , 1 and 2 , 1 To make R as Transitive, the required elements are 3 , 2 and 2 , 3 So, 8 elements are required to make R an equivalence relation. Hence, the total number of elements in R is 10 .
