1. Check if the relation 𝑅 defined on 𝐴 = {1,2,3,4} given by 𝑅 = {(1,2), (2,2), (1,1), (4,4), (1,3),
(3,3), (3,2)} is reflexive, symmetric, transitive.
2. Show that the relation 𝑅 defined on the set of real numbers as 𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑏): 𝑎 ≤ 𝑏 2 } is neither
reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.
3. Check if relation 𝑅 defined on set of integers 𝑍 as 𝑅 = {(𝑥, 𝑦): 𝑥 − 𝑦 is an even integer} is an
equivalence relation.
4. Let 𝐿 denote the set of all straight lines in a plane. 𝑅 = {(𝑙, 𝑚): 𝑙 is perpendicular to 𝑚, 𝑙, 𝑚 ∈ 𝐿}.
Check if 𝑅 is reflexive, symmetric, transitive.
5. A relation 𝑅 is defined on the set of real numbers as 𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑏): 𝑎2 − 4𝑎𝑏 + 3𝑏 2 = 0, 𝑎, 𝑏 ∈ 𝑅}.
Check if 𝑅 is reflexive, symmetric, transitive.
6. Show that the relation 𝑅 on the set 𝐴 = {𝑥 ∈ 𝑧: 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 12} given by 𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑏): |𝑎 − 𝑏| is a
multiple of 4} is an equivalence relation. Find the equivalence class [1].
7. Determine whether the relation 𝑅 defined on the set of real numbers as 𝑅 = {(𝑎, 𝑏): 𝑎 − 𝑏 + √3
is irrational, 𝑎, 𝑏 ∈ 𝑅} is reflexive, symmetric, transitive.
8. 𝑅 = {(3,3), (6,6), (9,9), (12,12), (6,12), (3,9), (3,12), (3,6)} is a relation on the set 𝐴 = {3,6,9,12}.
𝑅 is
(A) equivalence relation (B) reflexive and symmetric
(C) reflexive and transitive (D) reflexive only
9. Find the minimum number of ordered pairs that must be added to the relation 𝑅 = {(1,2), (2,3)}
defined on the set {1,2,3} to make it an equivalence relation
10. Let 𝐴 = {1,2,3, … 9} and 𝑅 be a relation in 𝐴 × 𝐴 defined by (𝑎, 𝑏) 𝑅 (𝑐, 𝑑) if 𝑎 + 𝑑 = 𝑏 + 𝑐,
𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐, 𝑑 ∈ 𝐴. Prove 𝑅 is an equivalence relation and obtain the equivalence class [(2,5)]
11. Find the maximum number of equivalence relations on the set 𝐴 = {1,2,3}
12. Two relations 𝑅1 and 𝑅2 are defined on the set 𝐴 = {1,2,3,4,5,6} as
𝑅1 = {(1,2), (2,2), (1,3), (3,4), (3,1), (4,3), (5,5)} and 𝑅2 = {(1,1), (1,2), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6)}
Check if 𝑅1 is reflexive, symmetric, transitive. How many ordered pairs should be added to 𝑅2 to
make it an equivalence relation?
