Let 𝑅 be a relation on 𝑍 × 𝑍 defined by (𝑎, 𝑏)𝑅(𝑐, 𝑑) if and only if 𝑎𝑑 − 𝑏𝑐 is divisible by 5 . Then 𝑅 is
A
Reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive
B
Reflexive, symmetric and transitive
C
Reflexive and transitive but not symmetric
D
Reflexive and symmetric but not transitive
Next
Correct Answer:
Reflexive and symmetric but not transitive

Explanation

(d) : Reflexive : For (𝑎, 𝑏)𝑅(𝑎, 𝑏) \n\n⇒ 𝑎𝑏 − 𝑎𝑏 = 0 is divisible by 5 . So, (𝑎, 𝑏)𝑅(𝑎, 𝑏)∀𝑎, 𝑏 ∈ 𝑍 \n\n∴ 𝑅 is reflexive. \n\nSymmetric : For (𝑎, 𝑏)𝑅(𝑐, 𝑑), if 𝑎𝑑 − 𝑏𝑐 is divisible by 5 . Then, 𝑏𝑐 − 𝑎𝑑 \n\nis also divisible by 5 . \n\nSo, (𝑐, 𝑑)𝑅(𝑎, 𝑏)∀𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐, 𝑑 ∈ 𝑍 \n\n∴ 𝑅 is symmetric. \n\nTransitive : For (𝑎, 𝑏)𝑅(𝑐, 𝑑) ⇒ 𝑎𝑑 − 𝑏𝑐 is divisible by 5 and \n\n(𝑐, 𝑑)𝑅(𝑒, 𝑓) ⇒ 𝑐𝑓 − 𝑑𝑒 is divisible by 5 \n\nLet 𝑎𝑑 − 𝑏𝑐 = 5𝑘1 and 𝑐𝑓 − 𝑑𝑒 = 5𝑘2, where 𝑘1 and 𝑘2 are integers. \n\n∴ 𝑎𝑑𝑓 − 𝑏𝑐𝑓 = 5𝑘1𝑓#(𝑖) \n\nand 𝑐𝑓𝑏 − 𝑑𝑒𝑏 = 5𝑘2𝑏 \n\nSolving (i) and (ii), we get \n\n𝑎𝑑𝑓 − 𝑏𝑐𝑓 + 𝑐𝑓𝑏 − 𝑑𝑒𝑏 = 5𝑘1𝑓 + 5𝑘2𝑏#(𝑖𝑖) \n\n⇒ 𝑎𝑑𝑓 − 𝑑𝑒𝑏 = 5(𝑘1𝑓 + 𝑘2𝑏) ⇒ 𝑑(𝑎𝑓 − 𝑏𝑒) = 5(𝑘1𝑓 + 𝑘2𝑏) \n\n𝑎𝑓 - be is not divisible by 5 for ∀𝑎, 𝑏, 𝑐, 𝑑, 𝑒, 𝑓 ∈ 𝑍 \n\nSo, 𝑅 is not transitive. \n\n∴ 𝑅 is Reflexive and symmetric but not transitive. \n\n
