    Consider the relations R1R_{1} and R2R_{2} defined as aR1baR_{1}b ⇔a2+b2=1\Leftrightarrow a^{2}+b^{2}= 1 for all a,b,∈Ra,b, \in R and (a,b)R2(c,d)(a,b)R_{2}(c,d) ⇔a+d=b+c\Leftrightarrow a + d = b + c for all (a,b),(c,d)∈N×N(a,b),(c,d) \in N \times N. Then

    Let X=R×RX = R \times R. Define a relation R on X as:
    (a1,b1)R(a2,b2)⇔b1=b2.\left( a_{1},b_{1} \right)R\left( a_{2},b_{2} \right)\Leftrightarrow b_{1}=b_{2}.
    Statement-I: R is an equivalence relation. Statement-II: For some (a,b)∈X(a,b) \in X, the set S={(x,y)∈X:(x,y)R(a,b)}\mathbf{S = \{(x,y) \in X:(x,y)R(a,b)\}} represents a line parallel to y=xy = x. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
