Questions  

Let R be the real line. Consider the following subsets of the plane R×R.

S={(x,y):y=x+1 and 0<x<2}T={(x,y):xy is an integer }

Statement-1 : T is an equivalence relation on R but S is not an equivalence relation on R. 

Statement-2 : S is neither reflexive nor symmetric but T is reflexive, symmetric and transitive

a
STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1
b
STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is NOT a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1
c
STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is False
d
STATEMENT-1 is False, STATEMENT-2 is True

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Since x ≠ x + 1 (x,x)∉S , so S is not reflexive Next x,y∈S,⇒y=x+1⇒x=y−1⇒(y,x)∉S so is not symmetricSince x – x = 0 0 is an integer (x,x)∈T∀x∈TAgain (x,y)∈T⇒x−y is an integer⇒ y – x is also an integer ⇒ (y, x) ∈ T So T is symmetric. Also , (x,y)∈T,(y,z)∈T⇒ x – y and y – z are integers ⇒ x – z = (x – y) – (y – z) is also an integer⇒ (x,z)∈Tso T is s Transitive .Which shows that statement-2 is true and hence statement-1 is also true.
