Let NN be the set of natural numbers and a relation RR on NN be defined by R={(x,y)∈N×N:x3−3x2y−xy2+3y3=0}R = \left\{\left(x, y\right) \in N \times N: {x}^{3} - 3{x}^{2}y - x{y}^{2} + 3{y}^{3} = 0\right\}. Then the relation RR is

Options

  1. Asymmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive
  2. Breflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive
  3. Creflexive and symmetric, but not transitive
  4. Dan equivalence relation

Correct answer

B. reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive

Step-by-step solution

x3−3x2y−xy2+3y3=0{x}^{3} - 3{x}^{2}y - x{y}^{2} + 3{y}^{3} = 0

⇒x(x2−y2)−3y(x2−y2)=0⇒ x\left({x}^{2} - {y}^{2}\right) - 3y\left({x}^{2} - {y}^{2}\right) = 0

⇒(x−3y)(x−y)(x+y)=0⇒ \left(x - 3y\right)\left(x - y\right)\left(x + y\right) = 0

Now, x=y∀(x,y)∈N×Nx = y \forall \left(x, y\right) \in N \times N so its a reflexive relation.
But not symmetric & transitive

Since, (3,1)\left(3, 1\right) satisfies but (1,3)\left(1, 3\right) does not.

Also \left(3, 1\right) \text{and }\left(1, - 1\right) satisfies but \left(3, - 1\right) does not.</p>
