    Let\[R=\{(1,\text{ }3),\text{(}4,\text{ }2),(2,\text{ }4),(2,\text{ }3),(3,\text{ }1)\}\]is a relation on the set\[A=\{1,2,3,4\}\]. Then, relation R is

    A)  a function        

    B)  transitive

    C)  not symmetric    

    D)  reflexive

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Let\[R=\{(1,\text{ }3),\text{ (}4,\text{ }2),\text{ (}2,\text{ }4),\text{ (}2,\text{ }3),\text{ (}3,\text{ }1)\}\]is a relation on the set\[A=\{1,\text{ }2,\text{ }3,\text{ }4\},\]then [a]\[\because \](2, 4) \[\in R\]and (2,3)\[\in R\]So,\[f(x)\]is not a function. [b]\[\because \](1,3)\[\in R\](3,1) \[\in R\]but (1,1)\[R\]. So, R is not transitive. [c]\[\because \] (2,3)\[\in R\]but (3,2)\[\in R\]So, R is not symmetric. [d] (1,1)\[R\]So, R is not reflexive.
