A relation \(R\) on the set \(A=\{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 13, 14\}\) defined as \(R=\{(x, y) : 3 x-y=0\}\) is

  1. A Reflexive and symmetric but not transitive
  2. B Neither reflexive nor transitive but symmetric
  3. C Neither symmetric nor transitive but reflexive
  4. D Neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Reflexive: For \( (a, a) \in R \), \( 3a - a = 0 \Rightarrow 2a = 0 \Rightarrow a = 0 \). But \( a \in A = \{1, \ldots, 14\} \). Thus, not reflexive. Symmetric: Let \( (x, y) \in R \). Then \( y = 3x \). For \( (y, x) \in R \), \( x = 3y \). Substituting \( y=3x \),…
