Let a set $A = A_1 \cup A_2 \cup ..... \cup A_k$, where $A_i \cap A_j = \phi$ for $i \neq j$, $1 \le j, j \le k$. Define the relation R from A to A by $R = \{(x, y) : y \in A_i$ if and only if $x \in A_i, 1 \le i \le k\}$. Then, R is :
(A) reflexive, symmetric but not transitive.
(B) reflexive, transitive but not symmetric.
(C) reflexive but not symmetric and transitive.
(D) an equivalence relation.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
$R = \{(x, y) : y \in A_i, iff x \in A_i, 1 \le i \le k\}$

(1) Reflexive: $(a, a) \Rightarrow a \in A_i$ iff $a \in A_i$

(2) Symmetric: $(a, b) \Rightarrow a \in A_i$ iff $b \in A_i$. $(b, a) \in R$ as $b \in A_i$ iff $a \in A_i$

(3) Transitive: $(a, b) \in R$ & $(b, c) \in R$. $\Rightarrow a \in A_i$ iff $b \in A_i$ & $b \in A_i$ iff $c \in A_i$. $\Rightarrow a \in A_i$ iff $c \in A_i$. $\Rightarrow (a, c) \in R$.

Therefore, the relation is an equivalence relation.

In a survey of 220 students of a higher secondary school, it was found that at least 125 and at most 130 students studied Mathematics; at least 85 and at most 95 studied Physics; at least 75 and at most 90 studied Chemistry; 30 studied both Physics and Chemistry; 50 studied both Chemistry and Mathematics; 40 studied both Mathematics and Physics and 10 studied none of these subjects. Let $m$ and $n$ respectively be the least and the most number of students who studied all the three subjects. Then $\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n}$ is equal to ___________.

Let $R$ be the set of real numbers. Statement I: $A = \{(x, y) \in R \times R: y - x \text{ is an integer }\}$ is an equivalence relation on $R$. Statement II: $B = \{(x,y) \in R \times R: x = \alpha y \text{ for some rational number } \alpha\}$ is an equivalence relation on $R$.
