Let a relation R on N N be defined as: (x₁, y₁ ) R (x₂, y₂ ) if and only if x₁ x₂ or y₁ y₂ . Consider the two statements: (I) R is reflexive but not symmetric. (II) R is transitive Then which one of the following is true?
Options
- ABoth (I) and (II) are correct.
- BOnly (II) is correct.
- CNeither (I) nor (II) is correct.
- DOnly (I) is correct.
Correct answer
D. Only (I) is correct.
Step-by-step solution
All ( ( x ₁ y ₁ ), ( x ₁, y ₁ ) ) are in R where x ₁, y ₁ N R is reflexive ((1,1),(2,3)) R but ((2,3),(1,1)) R R is not symmetric ((2,4),(3,3)) R and ((3,3),(1,3)) R but ((2,4) , (1,3)) R R is not transitive
