The relation \(R =\{( a , b ): \operatorname{gcd}( a , b )=1,2 a \neq b , a , b \in Z \}\) is:

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) neither symmetric nor transitive

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Reflexive : \((a, a) \Rightarrow \operatorname{gcd}\) of \((a, a)=1\) Which is not true for every a \(\epsilon Z\). Symmetric: Take \(a =2, b =1 \Rightarrow \operatorname{gcd}(2,1)=1\) Also \(2 a=4 \neq b\) Now when \(a =1, b =2 \Rightarrow \operatorname{gcd}(1,2)=1\) Also now…
