Question

m is said to be related to n if m and n are integers and m − n is divisible by 13. Does this define an equivalence relation?

Sum

Solution

We observe the following properties of relation R.

Let  R={(m, n) : m, Z : mn is divisible by 13}

Relexivity : Let m be an arbitrary element of Z. Then,

∈ R

⇒ m0 × 13

⇒ mm is divisible by 13

⇒ (m, m) is reflexive on Z.

Symmetry: Let (m, n∈ R. Then,

mn is divisible by 13

⇒ m13p

Here, ∈ Z

⇒ nm=13 (p) 

Here, ∈ Z

⇒ nm is divisible by 13

⇒ (n, m)∈ R for all m, ∈ 

So, R is symmetric on Z.

Transitivity: Let (m, n) and (n, o)R

⇒ mn and no are divisible by 13

⇒ mn=13p and − =13q for some p, ∈ Z

Adding the above two, we get

  m− n+n=1313q

⇒ m=13 (p+q)

Here, p+∈ Z

⇒ mo is divisible by 13

(m, o∈ R for all m, ∈ Z

So, R is transitive on Z.

Hence, R is an equivalence relation on Z.
