Given relation \(R =\{(x, y): y=x+5, x<4, x, y \in N\}\). Where N is a set of natural numbers then :

  1. A \(R\) is an equivalence relation.
  2. B \(R\) is transitive but neither reflexive nor symmetric.
  3. C \(R\) is reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive.
  4. D \(R\) is symmetric \(\backslash \&\) transitive but not reflexive.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(R\) is transitive but neither reflexive nor symmetric.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(x \in N, x \(R = \{(1, 6), (2, 7), (3, 8)\}\) Reflexivity: \((1, 1) \notin R\) (as \(1 \ne 1+5\)). Not reflexive. Symmetry: \((1, 6) \in R\) but \((6, 1) \notin R\) (as \(1 \ne 6+5\)). Not symmetric. Transitivity: No \((x, y) \in R\) and…
