Answer:  Hence prove, S is not an equivalence relation on R.
Hint:  To prove an equivalence relation it is necessary that the given relation should be reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
Explanation:
Given: S\left \{ \left ( a, b \right ):a^{2}+b^{2}=1 \right \}  
Now,
Reflexivity:
Let \: a=\frac{1}{2} \, \epsilon \, R
Then, a^{2}+a^{2}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\neq 1
(a, a) \notin S
S is not reflexive.
When one the three properties are not valid, relation not an equivalence.
Hence, S is not an equivalence relation on R.
