Let A= 2,3,6,8,9,11 and B= 1,4,5,10,15 . Let R be a relation on A B defined by (a, b) R(c, d) if and only if 3 a d-7 b c is an even integer. Then the relation R is
Options
- Aan equivalence relation.
- Breflexive and symmetric but not transitive.
- Ctransitive but not symmetric.
- Dreflexive but not symmetric.
Correct answer
B. reflexive and symmetric but not transitive.
Step-by-step solution
array lc A = 2,3,6,8,9,11 & ( a , b ) R ( c , d ) B = 1,4,5,10,15 & 3 ad -7 bc array Reflexive : ( a , b ) R ( a , b ) 3 ab -7 ba =-4 ab always even so it is reflexive. Symmetric : If 3 ad -7 bc = Even Case-I : odd odd Case-II : even even (c, d) R ( a , b ) 3 bc -3 ab Case-I : odd odd Case-II : even even so symmetric relation Transitive : Set (3,4) R(6,4) Satisfy relation Set (6,4) R(3,1) Satisfy relation but (3,4) R (3,1) does not satisfy relation so not transitive.
