Solution

To determine the elements of X X that are in the equivalence class [b][b] under the equivalence relation p p , we need to understand that p p is the set X2 X^2 of all ordered pairs. This means that every element in X X is related to every other element in X X .

Given X={a,b,c,d} X = \{a, b, c, d\} and p=X2 p = X^2 , the equivalence class [b][b] includes all elements xX x \in X such that (b,x)p (b, x) \in p . Since p=X2 p = X^2 , it includes all possible pairs, meaning every element in X X is related to b b .

Therefore, the elements of X X in the equivalence class [b][b] are:

  • a a
  • b b
  • c c
  • d d

So, the correct answer is: A. a B. b C. c D. d
