The given relation is R=2,3,3,4  and the given set  is A=1,2,3,4
To make it reflexive, add the ordered pairs 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4

The enlarge R is R={(1,1)(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(2,3),(3,4)}

To make it symmetric relation add 3,2,4,3

The enlarge R is R={(1,1)(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(2,3),(3,4),(3,2),(4,3)}

This is symmetric and transitive also

Therefore, the enlarge R is equivalence relation.

Hence, to make the given relation R equaivalence relation, add6 ordered pairs
