- B is symmetric but not reflexive
- C is symmetric and transitive
- D is an equivalence relation
Correct answer
C. is symmetric and transitive
Step-by-step solution
We have,
(i) Reflexive Suppose
⇒
which is not true when . Hence, relation is not reflexive.
(ii) Symmetric
If then, relation is symmetric.
(iii) Transitive
and
Hence, relation is transitive.$
