    The above defined relation R is

    A) Symmetric and transitive but not reflexive

    B) Universal relation

    C) Equivalence relation

    D) Reflexive but not symmetric and transitive.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Since \[\left( a,\,a \right)\in R\Rightarrow R\] is reflexive Also  \[\left( a,\,b \right)\in R\Rightarrow \left( b,\,\,a \right)\in R\] Both voters can be interchanged \[\therefore \] R is symmetric Again \[\left( a,\,b \right)\in R,\,\left( b,\,\,c \right)\in R\Rightarrow \left( a,\,c \right)\in R\] \[\therefore \] R is transitive Hence 'R' is an equivalence relation.
