Solution

an equivalence relation

R=(a, b) : a = b and a, }

Reflexivity : Let ∈ A 

Here,

⇒ (a, a∈ R for all ∈ A

So, R is reflexive on A

Symmetry Let a, ∈ A such that (a, b∈ R. Then,

(a, b∈ R

⇒ b

⇒ a

⇒ (b, a∈ R for all ∈ A

So, R is symmetric on A.

Transitive Let a, b, c A such that (a, b) R and (b, c) R.

Then(a, b∈ ⇒ b and (b, c∈ ⇒ c

⇒ a

⇒ (a, c∈ R for all ∈ A

So, R is transitive on A.

Hence, R is an equivalence relation on A.
