Please Solve RD Sharma Class 12 Chapter Relation Exercise 1.2 Question 8 Maths Textbook Solution.
Answer:R is an equivalence relation and the set of all elements related to 1 is 1.
Hint: To prove equivalence relation it is necessary that the given relation should be reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
Explanation:
Reflexivity:
Let a be an arbitrary element of A.
Then,
So, R is reflexive on A
Symmetry:
So, R is symmetric on A.
Transitivity:
multiplying eqn (i) and (ii), we get
So, R is transitive on A.
Therefore, R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
Hence, R is an equivalence relation on A.
Thus, the set of all elements related to 1 is 1.
