Please Solve RD Sharma Class 12 Chapter Relation Exercise 1.2 Question 9 Maths Textbook Solution.
Answer: R is an equivalence relation.
Hint:To prove equivalence relation it is necessary that the given relation should be reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
Given: We have, L is the set of lines
Explanation:
Now,
Reflexivity:
Since, one line is always parallel to itself.
R is reflexive.
Symmetric:
R is symmetric
Transitive:
R is transitive
Therefore, R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
Hence, R is an equivalence relation.
The set of lines parallel to the line is
where R is the set of real numbers.
