    Let R be the relation on the set R, of all real numbers defined by aRb iff \[mg\tan \theta \] Then, R is

    A)  reflexive and symmetric

    B)         symmetric only

    C)         transitive only

    D)         anti-symmetric only

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[|a-a|=0<1\]\[\therefore \]\[aRa\forall a\in R\] \[\therefore \]R is not anti-symmetric Again, \[aRb\Rightarrow \left| a-b \right|\le \,1\Rightarrow |b-a|\le 1\Rightarrow bRa\] \[\therefore \] R is symmetric, again \[|R\frac{1}{2}and\frac{1}{2}R|\] but \[\frac{1}{2}\ne 1\] Further,\[1R2\] and 2R 3 but1 r 3 \[[\because |1-3|=2>1]\] \[\therefore \] R is not transitive.
