The relation \(R=\left\{(a, b): a \leq b^2\right\}\) on the set of real numbers is:

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Neither reflexive nor symmetric

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Reflexivity: For \(a=0.5\), \(0.5 \not\leq (0.5)^2\). Thus, R is not reflexive. Symmetry: For \((1, 2)\), \(1 \leq 2^2\). For \((2, 1)\), \(2 \not\leq 1^2\). Thus, R is not symmetric. Neither reflexive nor symmetric.
