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

  1. A reflexive
  2. B symmetric
  3. C transitive
  4. D equivalence
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) symmetric

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If \( (x,x) \in R \), then \( x + x - \pi = 2x - \pi \) must be irrational. Let \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \). Then \( 2(\frac{\pi}{2}) - \pi = 0 \), which is rational. Thus, R is not reflexive. If \( (x,y) \in R \), then \( x + y - \pi \) is irrational. Then…
