Solution
Let T be the set of all triangles in the Euclidean plane, and let a relation R on T be defined as aRb if a is congruent to b ∀ a, b ∈ T. Then R is equivalence.
Explanation:
Given aRb, if a is congruent to b, ∀ a, b ∈ T.
Then, we have aRa ⇒ a is congruent to a; which is always true.
So, R is reflexive.
Let aRb ⇒ a ~ b
b ~ a
bRa
So, R is symmetric.
Let aRb and bRc
a ~ b and b ~ c
a ~ c
aRc
So, R is transitive.
Therefore, R is equivalence relation.

An organization conducted a bike race under 2 different categories-boys and girls. Totally there were 250 participants. Among all of them finally, three from Category 1 and two from Category 2 were selected for the final race. Ravi forms two sets B and G with these participants for his college project. Let B = {b1,b2,b3} G={g1,g2} where B represents the set of boys selected and G the set of girls who were selected for the final race.
