Let \( A=\{2,3,5,7,9\} \). Let R be the relation on A defined by \(x\) Ry if and only if \( 2x\le3y \). Let \(l\) be the number of elements in R, and m be the minimum number of elements required to be added in R to make it a symmetric relation. Then \( l+m \) is equal to :

  1. A 23
  2. B 25
  3. C 21
  4. D 27
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 25

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( A=\{2,3,5,7,9\} \) \( y\ge\frac{2x}{3} \) \(\left.\begin{array}{ll}x=2, & y=2,3,5,7,9 \\ x=3, & y=2,3,5,7,9 \\ x=5, & y=5,7,9 \\ x=7, & y=5,7,9 \\ x=9 & y=7,9\end{array}\right] \rightarrow \ell=18\) to make it symmetric elements to be added are {(5,2), (7,2), (9,2),…
