Show that the relation R in the set A of all the books in a library of a college, given by R = {(x, y) : x and y have same number of pages} is an equivalence relation.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Set `A` is the set of all books in the library of a college.
`R = {x, y): x` and `y` have the same number of pages}.
Now, R is reflexive since `(x, x) in R` as `x` and `x` has the same number of pages.
Let `(x, y) in R => x` and `y` have the same number of pages.
