| 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

       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
