Let RR be the set of real numbers This question has Statement −1andStatement-1 and Statement-2.Ofthefourchoicesgivenafterthestatements,choosetheonethatbestdescribesthetwostatements.Statement−1:. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements. Statement-1 :A=\{(x, y) \in R \times R: y-xisanintegeris an integer is an equivalence relation on RR. Statement-2 : B={(x,y)∈R×R:x=αyB=\{(x, y) \in R \times R: x=\alpha y for some rational number α}\alpha\} is an equivalence relation on R\mathrm{R}.

Options

  1. AStatement −1-1 is true, Statement −2-2 is true; Statement −2-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement −1-1
  2. BStatement −1-1 is true, Statement- 2 is false.
  3. CStatement −1-1 is false, Statement −2-2 is true.
  4. DStatement −1-1 is true, Statement −2-2 is true; Statement −2-2 is a correct explanation for Statement −1-1

Correct answer

B. Statement −1-1 is true, Statement- 2 is false.

Step-by-step solution

x−y\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{y} is an integer x−x=0x-x=0 is an integer ⇒A\Rightarrow A is Reflexive x−yx-y is an integer ⇒y−x\Rightarrow y-x is an integer ⇒A\Rightarrow A is symmetric x−y,y−zx-y, y-z are integers As sum of two integers is an integer. ⇒(x−y)+(y−z)=x−z\Rightarrow(x-y)+(y-z)=x-z is an integer ⇒A\Rightarrow \mathrm{A} is transitive. Hence statement −1-1 is true. Also xx=1\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{x}}=1 is a rational number ⇒B\Rightarrow B is reflexive xy=α\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{y}}=\alpha is rational ⇒yx\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{x}} need not be rational i.e., 01\frac{0}{1} is rational ⇒10\Rightarrow \frac{1}{0} is not rational Hence B is not symmetric ⇒B\Rightarrow B is not an equivalence relation.
