Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Suppose R1 and R2 are two equivalence relations defined on the set {x, y, z}. Describe the union and intersection of these relations and show whether they remain equivalence relations.

💡 Hint: Use specific pairs from both relations to illustrate.

Question 2

Provide a scenario where the union of two equivalence relations fails transitivity and prove your point with an example.

💡 Hint: Identify which pairs are present and which are missing.
