CUET PG | Mathematics | 2021Determine the characteristics of the relation aRb, if a2 = b2
Choose the correct answer:
- A.
Transitive and symmetric
- B.
Reflexive and asymmetric
- C.
Trichotomy, antisymmetric and irreflexive
- D.
Symmetric, Reflexive and Transitive
(Correct Answer)
Symmetric, Reflexive and Transitive
Explanation
1. Reflexive (Swayamtulya)
Ek relation reflexive hota hai agar har element a khud se related ho (aRa).
Kyunki kisi bhi number ka square hamesha apne aap ke barabar hota hai:
Isliye, (a,a)∈R for all a.
Nishkarsh: Ye relation Reflexive hai.
2. Symmetric (Sammit)
Agar aRb hai, toh kya bRa bhi hoga?
Maana ki aRb hai, toh condition ke hisaab se:
Is equation ko hum aise bhi likh sakte hain:
Iska matlab hai ki (b,a)∈R.
Nishkarsh: Ye relation Symmetric hai.
3. Transitive (Sankramak)
Agar aRb aur bRc hai, toh kya aRc hoga?
Maana:
-
a2=b2 (Kyunki aRb)
-
b2=c2 (Kyunki bRc)
Dono equations se hum keh sakte hain:
Iska matlab hai ki (a,c)∈R.
Nishkarsh: Ye relation Transitive hai.
Final Result:
Kyunki ye relation Reflexive, Symmetric, aur Transitive teeno hai:
