Question

Let A = {2, 3, 4, 5, ..., 17, 18}. Let '≃' be the equivalence relation on A × A, cartesian product of A with itself, defined by (a, b) ≃ (c, d) if ad = bc. Then, the number of ordered pairs of the equivalence class of (3, 2) is
(a) 4
(b) 5
(c) 6
(d) 7

Solution

(c) 6

The ordered pairs of the equivalence class of (3, 2) are {(3, 2), (6, 4), (9, 6), (12, 8), (15, 10), (18, 12)}.
We observe that these are 6 pairs.
