Consider the ordering relation a | b ⊆ N x N over natural numbers N such that a | b if there exists c belong to N such that a*c=b. Then ___________(a) | is an equivalence relation(b) It is a total order(c) Every subset of N has an upper bound under |(d) (N,|) is a lattice but not a complete latticeI have been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.My query is from Relations topic in portion Relations of Discrete Mathematics

Answer»

The correct CHOICE is (d) (N,|) is a lattice but not a COMPLETE lattice

To explain: A set is called lattice if every finite subset has a least upper bound and greatest LOWER bound. It is TERMED as a complete lattice if every subset has a least upper bound and greatest lower bound. As every subset of this will not have LUB and GLB so (N,|) is a lattice but not a complete lattice.
