We define a binary relation $\sim$ on the set of all $3 \times 3$ real matrices as $A \sim B$ if and only if there exist invertible matrices $P$ and $Q$ such that $B = P A Q^{-1}$. The binary relation $\sim$ is

  • A
    neither reflexive nor symmetric
  • B
    reflexive and symmetric but not transitive
  • C
    symmetric and transitive but not reflexive
  • D
    an equivalence relation

Let $*$ be a binary operation defined on the set of rational numbers $Q$. Determine whether the binary operation defined by $a * b = a + ab$ for all $a, b \in Q$ is commutative.

Given a non-empty set $X$,consider the binary operation $^*: P(X) \times P(X) \rightarrow P(X)$ defined by $A \,^*\, B = A \cap B$ for all $A, B \in P(X)$,where $P(X)$ is the power set of $X$. Show that $X$ is the identity element for this operation and $X$ is the only invertible element in $P(X)$ with respect to the operation.
