let a= 1 2 3 . then find the number of equivalence relations containing (1 2) is?
Im getting an answer =3, the book says its 2 and websites i checked say its 1
first relation is (1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(1,2),(2,1)
second is (1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(1,3),(3,1),(3,2),(2,3),(1,2),(2,1)
i have to send the answer for me 2 explaint his
so basicaly first relation satisfys alll 3 critera
and because we dont have a relation of 1,3 in first we dont need to add the other 4
rest transitive symetric its clerly visible
for the second relation
we add 3,2 2,3 for symetric
and 1,3 3,1 for transitive
because 1 has relation iwth 2
2 has relation with 3
so 1 has also relation with 3
i beleive its from ncert
