JEE Main2010MathematicsSets and RelationsActual
Consider the following relations: R= (x, y) x, y are real numbers and x= wy for some rational number w ; S= ( m n , p q ) m, n, p . and q are integers such that n, q 0 and .q m=p n . Then
Options
- Aneither R nor S is an equivalence relation
- BS is an equivalence relation but R is not an equivalence relation
- CR and S both are equivalence relations
- DR is an equivalence relation but S is not an equivalence relation
Correct answer
D. R is an equivalence relation but S is not an equivalence relation
Step-by-step solution
xRy need not implies y R x S : m n s p q qm = pn m n s m n reflexive array ll m n s p q & p q s m n symmetric m n s p q , p q s r s & q m=p n, p s=r q m s=r n transitive. array S is an equivalence relation.
