1. Let A = 1, 2,3,...9 and R be the relation in AxA defined by (a,b)R(c,d), if a+d = b+c for
(a,b), (c,d) in AxA .Prove that R is an equivalence relation and also obtain the equivalence

2. Show that the relation R in the set Z of integers given by R = ( a, b) : 2divides(a − b)
is an equivalence relation .
3. Show that the relation R on A ,A = { x| x  Z , 0 ≤ x ≤ 12 } , R = {(a ,b): |a - b| is multiple of 3.} is
an equivalence relation.
