Q76 / 225 · JEE Main 2004 · Mathematics

Let $R=\{(1,3),(4,2),(2,4),(2,3),(3,1)\}$ be a relation on the set $A=\{1,2,3,4\}$. The relation $R$ is

A
a function
B
reflexive
Correct answer
C
not symmetric
D
transitive

Solution

$(2,3) \in \mathrm{R}$ but $(3,2) \notin \mathrm{R}$ Hence R is not symmetric.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
