Define a relation \(R\) over a class of \(n \times n\) real matrices \(A\) and \(B\) as \("ARB\) iff there exists a non-singular matrix \(P\) such that \(PAP ^{-1}= B "\) Then which of the following is true?

  1. A \(R\) is symmetric, transitive but not reflexive.
  2. B \(R\) is reflexive, symmetric but not transitive
  3. C \(R\) is an equivalence relation
  4. D \(R\) is reflexive, transitive but not symmetric
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(R\) is an equivalence relation

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A\) and \(B\) are matrices of \(n \times n\) order ARB iff there exists a non singular matrix \(P (\operatorname{det}( P ) \neq 0)\) such that \(PAP ^{-1}= B\) For reflexive \(ARA \Rightarrow PAP ^{-1}= A \quad \ldots(1)\) must be true for \(P = I ,\) Eq.(1) is true so \('R'\)…
