Set, Relation and FunctionHard

Question

Consider the following relations:
R = {(x, y) | x, y are real numbers and x = wy for some rational number w};
S = m, n, p and q are integers such that n, q ≠ 0 and qm = pn. Then

Options

A.neither R nor S is an equivalence relation
B.S is an equivalence relation but R is not an equivalence relation
C.R and S both are equivalence relations
D.R is an equivalence relation but S is not an equivalence relation

Solution

xRy need not implies yRx
S:    ⇔ qm = pn
reflexive
             
    ⇒ qm = pn, ps = rq      ⇒ ms = rn transitive.
S is an equivalence relation.
