Consider the relation R on the set \(\{-2,-1,0,1,2\}\) defined by \((a, b) \in R\) if and only if \(1+ab > 0\). Then, among the statements:
I. The number of elements in R is 17
II. R is an equivalence relation

  1. A Only I is true
  2. B Only II is true
  3. C Both I and II are true
  4. D Neither I nor II is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Only I is true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The set is \(A = \{-2, -1, 0, 1, 2\}\). For Statement I, the relation is defined as \((a, b) \in R \iff 1 + ab > 0\). The pairs \((a, b)\) that do not belong to \(R\) satisfy \(1 + ab \le 0 \Rightarrow ab \le -1\). The pairs satisfying \(ab \le -1\) are…
