    Assertion: A relation R = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 3)} is symmetric
    Reason: A relation R on the set A is said to be symmetric if\[\left( a,\,\,b \right)\in R\], then\[\left( b,\,\,a \right)\in \,R\].

    A) Both A and R are individually true and R is the correct explanation of A.

    B) Both A and R are individually true and R is not the correct explanation of A.

    C) 'A' is true but 'R' is false

    D) 'A' is false but 'R' is true

    E) Both A and R are false.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given R = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 3)} Here \[\left( 1,\,\,2 \right)\in R\]but \[\left( 2,\,1 \right)\notin \,R\] \[\Rightarrow \]Assertion [A] is not true Also Given Reason is true {By definition of symmetric relation} \[\therefore \]Assertion A is false and Reason R is true Hence option [D] is the correct answer.
