The relation R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)} on the set {1, 2, 3} is :

  1. A symmetric only
  2. B reflexive only
  3. C transitive only
  4. D an equivalence relation
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) an equivalence relation

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

R is reflexive: \((a,a) \in R\) for all \(a \in \{1,2,3\}\). R is symmetric: If \((a,b) \in R\), then \((b,a) \in R\). R is transitive: If \((a,b) \in R\) and \((b,c) \in R\), then \((a,c) \in R\). Therefore, R is an equivalence relation.
