  1. A R is reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive
  2. B R is symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive
  3. C R is an equivalence relation
  4. D R is reflexive and transitive but not symmetic
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) R is symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Reflexivity: \(L_1 \perp L_1\) is false. Symmetry: If \(L_1 \perp L_2\), then \(L_2 \perp L_1\) is true. Transitivity: If \(L_1 \perp L_2\) and \(L_2 \perp L_3\), then \(L_1 \parallel L_3\), not \(L_1 \perp L_3\). R is symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive.
