Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{R} \cap \mathrm{R}^1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint: If \(R ~\&~ R^1\) are equivalence relation \(\mathrm{R}^{-1} \Rightarrow\) Equivalence \(\mathrm{R} \cap \mathrm{R}^1 \Rightarrow\) Equivalence \(R \cup R^1\) may or may not equivalence
