Question:

Let R1 and R2 be two relations defined on ℝ by a R1b ⇔ ab ≥ 0 and aR2b ⇔ a ≥ b. Then,

Updated On: Aug 10, 2024
  • R1 is an equivalence relation but not R2
  • R2 is an equivalence relation but not R1
  • Both R1 and R2 are equivalence relations
  • Neither R1 nor R2 is an equivalence relation

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is (D):
aR
1b ⇔ ab ≥ 0
So, definitely (aa) ∈ R1 as a2 ≥ 0
If (ab) ∈ R1 ⇒ (ba) ∈ R1
But if (ab) ∈ R1, (bc) ∈ R1
⇒ Then (ac) may or may not belong to R1
{Consider a = –5, b = 0, c = 5 so (ab) and (bc) ∈ R1 but ac < 0}
So, R1 is not equivalence relation
a Rb ⇔ a ≥ b
(aa) ∈ R2 ⇒ so reflexive relation
If (ab) ∈ R2 then (ba) may or may not belong to R2
⇒ So not symmetric
Hence it is not equivalence relation

Types of Differential Equations

There are various types of Differential Equation, such as:

Ordinary Differential Equations:

Ordinary Differential Equations is an equation that indicates the relation of having one independent variable x, and one dependent variable y, along with some of its other derivatives.

\(F(\frac{dy}{dt},y,t) = 0\)

Partial Differential Equations:

A partial differential equation is a type, in which the equation carries many unknown variables with their partial derivatives.

Partial Differential Equation

Linear Differential Equations:

It is the linear polynomial equation in which derivatives of different variables exist. Linear Partial Differential Equation derivatives are partial and function is dependent on the variable.

Linear Differential Equation

Homogeneous Differential Equations:

When the degree of f(x,y) and g(x,y) is the same, it is known to be a homogeneous differential equation.

\(\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{a_1x + b_1y + c_1}{a_2x + b_2y + c_2}\)
