Let be the real line. Consider the following subsets of the plane : Which one of the following is true?

  1. A
    neither nor is an equivalence relation on
  2. B
    both and are equivalence relations on
  3. C
    is an equivalence relation on but is not
  4. D
    is an equivalence relation on but is not

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

For relation :Reflexivity: , which is false. So is not reflexive.Thus, is not an equivalence relation.For relation :Reflexivity: , which is an integer. So for all .Symmetry: If (integer), then (integer). So if , then .Transitivity: If and , then (integer). So is transitive.Thus, is an equivalence relation.
