Question 7 A relation R in set A = {1, 2, 3} is defined as R = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 3)}. Which of the following ordered pair in R shall be removed to make it an equivalence relation in A? (a) (1, 1) (b) (1, 2) (c) (2, 2) (d) (3, 3) R = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 2), (3, 3)} Here, since we have (1, 2), We need to have (2, 1) also… to make it symmetric But, if we remove (1, 2), Then our Relation can be symmetric, reflexive and transitive i.e. equivalent Thus, we remove (1, 2) So, the correct answer is (b)
