Show that the relation R defined in the set A of all polygons as R = {(P1, P2): P1 and P2 have same number of sides}, is an equivalence relation. What is the set of all elements in A related to the right angle triangle T with sides 3, 4 and 5?
R = {(P1, P2): P1 and P2 have same the number of sides}
R is reflexive since (P1, P1) ∈ R as the same polygon has the same number of sides with
itself.
Let (P1, P2) ∈ R.
⇒ P1 and P2 have the same number of sides.
⇒ P2 and P1 have the same number of sides.
⇒ (P2, P1) ∈ R
∴R is symmetric.
Now,
Let (P1, P2), (P2, P3) ∈ R.
⇒ P1 and P2 have the same number of sides. Also, P2 and P3 have the same number of
sides.
⇒ P1 and P3 have the same number of sides.
⇒ (P1, P3) ∈ R
∴R is transitive.
Hence, R is an equivalence relation.
The elements in A related to the right-angled triangle (T) with sides 3, 4, and 5 are those polygons which have 3 sides (since T is a polygon with 3 sides).
Hence, the set of all elements in A related to triangle T is the set of all triangles.
A school is organizing a debate competition with participants as speakers and judges. $ S = \{S_1, S_2, S_3, S_4\} $ where $ S = \{S_1, S_2, S_3, S_4\} $ represents the set of speakers. The judges are represented by the set: $ J = \{J_1, J_2, J_3\} $ where $ J = \{J_1, J_2, J_3\} $ represents the set of judges. Each speaker can be assigned only one judge. Let $ R $ be a relation from set $ S $ to $ J $ defined as: $ R = \{(x, y) : \text{speaker } x \text{ is judged by judge } y, x \in S, y \in J\} $.

Relation is said to be empty relation if no element of set X is related or mapped to any element of X i.e, R = Φ.
A relation R in a set, say A is a universal relation if each element of A is related to every element of A.
R = A × A.
Every element of set A is related to itself only then the relation is identity relation.
Let R be a relation from set A to set B i.e., R ∈ A × B. The relation R-1 is said to be an Inverse relation if R-1 from set B to A is denoted by R-1
If every element of set A maps to itself, the relation is Reflexive Relation. For every a ∈ A, (a, a) ∈ R.
A relation R is said to be symmetric if (a, b) ∈ R then (b, a) ∈ R, for all a & b ∈ A.
A relation is said to be transitive if, (a, b) ∈ R, (b, c) ∈ R, then (a, c) ∈ R, for all a, b, c ∈ A
A relation is said to be equivalence if and only if it is Reflexive, Symmetric, and Transitive.
