Let S be a set of n elements. The number of ordered pairs in the largest and the smallest equivalence relations on S are:
(A)
n and n
(B)
n2 and n
(C)
n2 and 0
(D)
n and 1
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
Consider an example set, S = (1,2,3) Equivalence property follows, reflexive, symmetric and transitive Largest ordered set are s x s = { (1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (3,1) (3,2) (3,3) } which are 9 which equal to 3^2 = n^2 Smallest ordered set are { (1,1) (2,2) ( 3,3)} which are 3 and equals to n. number of elements.
