Let \(R\) be a relation on \(Z \times Z\) defined by\( (a, b)\)\(R(c, d)\) if and only if \(ad - bc\) is divisible by \(5\) . Then \(\mathrm{R}\) is

  1. A  Reflexive and symmetric but not transitive
  2. B Reflexive but neither symmetric not transitive
  3. C  Reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
  4. D Reflexive and transitive but not symmetric
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A)  Reflexive and symmetric but not transitive

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\((a, b) R(a, b)\) as \(a b-a b=0\) Therefore reflexive Let \((a, b) R(c, d) \Rightarrow a d-b c\) is divisible by \(5\) \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{bc}-\mathrm{ad}\) is divisible by \(5 \Rightarrow(\mathrm{c}, \mathrm{d}) \mathrm{R}(\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b})\) Therefore symmetric…
