Question

A relation ρ\rho is defined on the set of integers ZZ so that ϱ={(a,b)Z×Zab5}.\varrho = \{(a,b) \in {Z} \times {Z} \mid |a - b| \leq 5\}. The the relation is​

A.

transitive

B.

reflexive and symmetric

C.

transitive but not symmetric

D.

not reflexive.

Correct option is B

Given:ρ={(a,b)Z×Zab5}Check Reflexive:aa=05=>(a,a)ρ(Always true)=>ρ is reflexiveCheck Symmetric:ab5=>ba=ab5=>(b,a)ρ=>ρ is symmetricCheck Transitive:Let a=1,b=5,c=10ab=4,bc=5=>(a,b),(b,c)ρac=95=>(a,c)ρ=>ρ is not transitiveAnswer: (B) Reflexive and Symmetric\textbf{Given:} \\\rho = \{(a, b) \in \mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z} \mid |a - b| \leq 5 \} \\[8pt]\textbf{Check Reflexive:} \\|a - a| = 0 \leq 5 \Rightarrow (a, a) \in \rho \quad \text{(Always true)} \\[6pt]\Rightarrow \text{ρ is reflexive} \\[8pt]\textbf{Check Symmetric:} \\|a - b| \leq 5 \Rightarrow |b - a| = |a - b| \leq 5 \Rightarrow (b, a) \in \rho \\\Rightarrow \text{ρ is symmetric} \\[8pt]\textbf{Check Transitive:} \\\text{Let } a = 1, b = 5, c = 10 \\|a - b| = 4,\quad |b - c| = 5 \Rightarrow (a, b), (b, c) \in \rho \\|a - c| = 9 \nleq 5 \Rightarrow (a, c) \notin \rho \\\Rightarrow \text{ρ is not transitive} \\[10pt]\boxed{\text{Answer: (B) Reflexive and Symmetric}}​​
