1. **Problem 1: Equivalence Relation on Real Numbers**
   - Define a relation \( \sim \) on \( \mathbb{R} \) given by \( x \sim y \) if \( x = y \) or \( xy = 1 \). Prove that \( \sim \) is an equivalence relation. Find the equivalence class of 0, 3, and \(-2/3\).

2. **Problem 2: Equivalence Relation on Pairs of Natural Numbers**
   - Define a relation \( \sim \) on \( \mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N} \) by
     \[
     (n, m) \sim (p, q) \quad \text{if} \quad n + q = p + m.
     \]
   - Is \( \sim \) an equivalence relation? Why?

3. **Problem 3: Equivalence Relation on Finite Subsets of Natural Numbers**
   - Let \( X \) denote the set of all finite subsets of \( \mathbb{N} \), including \(\emptyset\). Define a relation \( \sim \) on elements \( S_1, S_2 \) of \( X \) by \( S_1 \sim S_2 \) if \( S_1 \) and \( S_2 \) have the same cardinality. Show that \( \sim \) is an equivalence relation on \( X \).

4. **Problem 4: Equivalence Relation on Integers**
   - Define a relation on \( \mathbb{Z} \) given by \( x \sim y \) if \( x - y \in E \).
     - (a) Show that \( \sim \) is an equivalence relation.
     - (b) Find the equivalence classes \([0]\sim\) and \([1]\sim\) of 0, 1 \(\in \mathbb{Z}\).

### Explanation Notes

- **Equivalence Relation:** A binary relation \( \sim \) on a set \( S \) is an equivalence relation if it is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
- **Equivalence Class:** For an equivalence relation \( \sim \) on a set \( S \), the
