Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Check for reflexivity: As \(3(a-a)+\sqrt{7}=\sqrt{7}\) which belongs to relation so relation is reflexive Check for symmetric: Take \(a=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{3}, b=0\) Now \((a, b) \in R\) but \((b, a) \notin R\) As \(3(b-a)+\sqrt{7}=0\) which is rational so relation is not symmetric.…
