33 Let (, ) × . Then we have
a+b = b+a (by commutative property of addition of natural
numbers)
(, )(, )
Hence, R is reflexive.
Let (, ), (, ) × such that (a, b) R (c, d). Then
a+d = b+c
= (by commutative property of addition of
natural numbers
(, )(, )
Hence, R is symmetric.
Let (, ), (, ), (, ) × such that
(a, b) R (c, d) and (c, d) R (e, f).
Then a+d = b+c, c+f = d+e

(, )(, )
Hence, R is transitive.
Since, R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive, R is an
equivalence relation on × .
