Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the set S = {a, b, c, d, e} and the partition {{a, b}, {c, d}, {e}}, construct an equivalence relation and justify why it meets the criteria for reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity.

💡 Hint: Focus first on proving one property of equivalence at a time.

Question 2

In a university, students are classified into departments: {Math, Science}, {Arts}, and {Engineering}. Create a practical example showing a partition into departments and derive its corresponding equivalence relation.

💡 Hint: Think about how you can link students to different departments for clarification.
