  1. A symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive
  2. B transitive but neither reflexive nor symmetric
  3. C reflexive and symmetric but not transitive
  4. D symmetric and transitive but not reflexive
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\((a, b) R(c, d) \Rightarrow a d(b-c)=b c(a-d)\) Symmetric: \((c, d) R(a, b) \Rightarrow c b(d-a)=d a(c-b) \Rightarrow\) Symmetric Reflexive: (a, b) R \((a, b) \Rightarrow a b(b-a) \neq b a(a-b) \Rightarrow\) Not reflexive Transitive: \((2,3) R (3,2)\) and \((3,2) R (5,30)\) but…
