Question
Pls. explain the following solutions.

Transcribed Image Text:terice the given relation is Equivalence relation.
Moreover if a,b are relatively primethe_ad -bc =0
> ad s bc,therefore a divides c and b divides d.
Given relation on z defined as ano if and only if
20+b = O mod 0.
Refiexiye :
clearly a ~a for alla E Z as :
2at9=0a
: O mod G
Hence he given relation is Reflexive.
Symmetric:
Let a~o, Therefore 20+b # o mod o.
Therefore 20 tb 3Ok for some integer
Hence b = OK
Now consider:
20 +q = 2COK-20) *a
2a
ニ ok
0 mod 9.
Hence b ~a,
Transitive:
Suppose a,b,c e z be such that anb,o~c.
Therefore : 2a tb s o mod o and 2b + c 30 mod .

Transcribed Image Text:(A.
Given S = ZXN
Define equilalence relationon 8 =2XN as Ca,b)~ Cc,d)
if and only if ad-bc =O.
Reflexive:
clearly Ca,b)~Ca,b) because ab - ab =O.
Bince Ca,b was an arbitrary element of 8 = Z× N,
Therefore every element of the set s = 2XN is related
to itself. Hence the giyen relation is Reflexive.
Symetric:
Let Ca,b), Ca,d)E 8 be such that Ca,b) ~Cc,d)
Therefore_ad - bc = O.
nad-bu =0
bo-ad =O
cb-da =0
Which implies that Ca,d)~(a,b).
Hence the gixen relation is Gymmetric .
Trancitive:
Let ca,b), ce,d) and Ce,f)E 6 be such that:
cab)~Ca,d) and Ca,d)~ce, f). Therefore :
ad-bc = 0 => ad =bc and cf -de = O => cf =de.
adcf #bode
bede
do
(:: C,d EN)
adcf
do
af =be
Which implies that ca,b)~Ce,f).
Hence the given relation is Transitive.
