Options
- A is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive
- B is neither reflexive nor symmetric but transitive
- C is not reflexive but symmetric and transitive
- D is reflexive, symmetric and transitive
Correct answer
A. is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive
Step-by-step solution
Let,
The relation is defined on set is
. Therefore,
Now, but .
Therefore, is not reflexive.
It can be observed that but . Therefore, R is not symmetric.
Now, but . Therefore, is not transitive.
Hence, is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive
