JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 1. relation and function

Let \(\mathrm{R}=\{(1,2),(2,3),(3,3)\}\) be a relation defined on the set \(\{1,2,3,4\}\). Then the minimum number of elements, needed to be added in R so that R becomes an equivalence relation, is:

  1. A \(10\)
  2. B \(7\)
  3. C \(8\)
  4. D \(9\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(7\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A=\{1,2,3,4\}\) For relation to be reflexive \(\mathrm{R}=\{(1,2),(2,3),(3,3)\}\) Minimum elements added will be \((1,1),(2,2),(4,4)(2,1)(3,2)(3,2)(3,1)(1,3)\) \(\therefore\) Minimum number of elements \(=7\)
