Question Number 119797 by Ar Brandon last updated on 27/Oct/20

Q1  Let M_2  be the set of square matrices of order 2 over  the real number system and       R={(A,B)∈M_2 ×M_2 ∣A=P^( T) BP  for some                 non-singular P ∈M}  Then R is  (A) symmetric  (B) transitive  (C) reflexive on M_2   (D) not an equivalence relation on M_2     Q2  For any integer n, let I_n  be the interval (n, n+1).  Define         R={(x, y)∈R∣both x, y ∈ I_n  for some n∈Z}  Then R is  (A) reflexive on R  (B) symmetric  (C) transitive  (D) an equivalence relation
