Question:

For real numbers x and y the relations R is defined as R= {(x, y) : x + y - $\pi $ is an irrational number }, then the relation R is

Options:

reflexive

symmetric

transitive

equivalence

Correct Answer:

symmetric

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → symmetric

$R= \{(x, y) : x + y - \pi\}$

$xRy=x + y - \pi ∈ \text{Irrational Number}$

$⇒x + y - \pi ∈ \text{Irrational Number}$

$∴yRx$ is a relation.

∴ This is symmetric relation.
