Let A= 0,1,2,3,4,5 . Let R be a relation on A defined by (x, y) R if and only if max x, y 3,4 . Then among the statements ( S ₁ ) : The number of elements in R is 18 , and ( S ₂ ) : The relation R is symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive
Options
- Aboth are true
- Bboth are false
- Conly ( S ₂ ) is true
- Donly ( S ₁ ) is true
Correct answer
C. only ( S ₂ ) is true
