Let a set A = A 1 ∪ A 2 ∪ … ∪ A k , where A i ∩ A j = ϕ for i ≠ j ; 1 ≤ i , j ≤ k . Define the relation R from A to A by R = x , y : y ∈ A i if and only if x ∈ A i , 1 ≤ i ≤ k . Then, R is:
Options
- Areflexive, symmetric but not transitive
- Breflexive, transitive but not symmetric
- Creflexive but not symmetric and transitive
- Dan equivalence relation
Correct answer
D. an equivalence relation
Step-by-step solution
Let A = 1 , 2 , 3 Then R = 1 , 1 , 1 , 2 , 1 , 3 2 , 1 , 2 , 2 , 2 , 3 3 , 1 , 3 , 2 3 , 3 which is an equivalence relation.
