  4. D \(\rho\) is not transitive
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\rho\) is not transitive

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \(\rho=\{(x, y) \in N \times N: 2 x+y=41\}\) For reflexive, \(\begin{array}{l} x p x \Rightarrow 2 x+x=41 \\ \Rightarrow 3 x=41 \end{array}\) \(\Rightarrow x=\frac{41}{3} \notin N\) So, \(\rho\) is not reflexive. For symmetric, \(x \rho y \Rightarrow 2 x+y=41\) and…
