Let \(\rho_{1}\) and \(\rho_{2}\) be two equivalence relations defined on a non-void set \(S\). Then

  1. A both \(\rho_{1} \cap \rho_{2}\) and \(\rho_{1} \cup \rho_{2}\) are equivalence relations
  2. B \(\rho_{1} \cap \rho_{2}\) is equivalence relation but \(\rho_{1} \cup \rho_{2}\) is not so.
  3. C \(\rho_{1} \cup \rho_{2}\) is equivalence relation but \(\rho_{1} \cap \rho_{2}\) is not so
  4. D neither \(\rho_{1} \cap \rho_{2}\) nor \(\rho_{1} \cup \rho_{2}\) is equivalence relation.
