Let R be a relation on the set of natural numbers N defined by nRm if n divides m. Then R is : (A) Reflexive Relation (B) Symmetric Relation (C) Transitive Relation (D) Identity Relation Choose the correct answer from the options given below : |
(A) and (C) Only (A) and (B) Only (A) and (D) Only (B) and (C) Only |
(A) and (C) Only |
The correct answer is option (1) → (A) and (C) Only R is reflexive as for every x ∈ real no. $\frac{x}{x}=1$ (divisible) so $(x,x)∈R$ R is not symmetric eq: $(1,2)∈R$ but $(2,1)∉R$ R is transitive as $(x,y)∈R,(y,z)∈R$ ⇒ z divisible by y, y divisible by x ⇒ z divisible by x so $(x,z)∈R$ only A, C correct |
