If an equivalence relation has (2) classes on a (7)-element set, what is the maximum possible number of pairs in the relation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (37)

Step 1: The two non-empty class sizes must add to (7). Step 2: The sum of squares is maximum when the sizes are most unequal, (6) and (1). Step 3: The pair count is (6^2+1^2=37).
