Q.7 Show that the relation R in the set A of all the books in a library of a college,
given by $R = \{(x, y) : x \;and\;y\;have\;same\;number\;of\;pages\}$ is an equivalence
relation.￼

A = all the books in a library of a college

$R = \{(x, y) : x \;and\;y\;have\;same\;number\;of\;pages\}$

$(x,x) \in R$  because  x and x have same number of pages so it is reflexive.

Let  $(x,y) \in R$  means x and y have same number of pages.

Since,y and x have same number of pages so  $(y,x) \in R$  .

Hence, it is symmetric.

Let  $(x,y) \in R$  means x and y have same number of pages.

and  $(y,z) \in R$  means y and z have same number of pages.

This states,x and z also have same number of pages i.e.$(x,z) \in R$

Hence, it is transitive.

Thus, it is reflexive, symmetric and transitive i.e. it is an equivalence
relation.?
