Solution

The maximum number of equivalence relations on the set A = {1, 2, 3} are 5.

Explanation:

Given, set A = {1, 2, 3}

Now, the number of equivalence relations as follows

R1 = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3)}

R2 = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1, 2), (2, 1)}

R3 = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1, 3), (3, 1)}

R4 = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (2, 3), (3, 2)}

R5 = {(1, 2, 3) ⇔ A x A = A2}

Thus, maximum number of equivalence relation is ‘5’.
