Q44 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (29 Jan Shift 1) · Mathematics
Let be a relation on defined by if and only if is divisible by . Then is
- Correct answerAReflexive and symmetric but not transitive
- BReflexive but neither symmetric not transitive
- CReflexive, symmetric and transitive
- DReflexive and transitive but not symmetric
Solution
Given relation
And
Now, for reflexive
which is divisible by
So, the relation is reflexive,
Now, for symmetric
which is divisible by
So, the relation is symmetric,
Now for transitive relation,
Taking example
Now,
But which is not divisible by ,
Hence, the relation is reflexive, symmetric but not transitive.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
