As we learnt in

Equivalence relation -

Any relation which is reflexive, symmetric and transitive is called an equivalence relation

-

 

 A = {y - x  is an integer}

B = {x = d, y}

A = {y - x is an integer for }

(a, a) it is an integer.

(a, b), (b, a) it is an integer

(a, b) (b, c) (a, c) it is an integer so that A is an equivalence relation.

Correct option is 1.

 


Option 1)

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

This is the correct option.

Option 2)

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

This is an incorrect option.

Option 3)
