Let $R$ be a relation on $N \times N$ defined by $(a, b) R (c, d)$ if and only if $ad(b - c) = bc(a - d)$. Then $R$ is
(A) symmetric and transitive but not reflexive
(B) reflexive and symmetric but not transitive
(C) transitive but neither reflexive nor symmetric
(D) symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive

Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Given $(a, b) R (c, d) \implies ad(b - c) = bc(a - d)$.

Symmetric:
$(c, d) R (a, b) \implies cb(d - a) = da(c - b)$. This is symmetric.

Reflexive:
$(a, b) R (a, b) \implies ab(b - a) \neq ba(a - b)$. Thus, not reflexive.

Transitive:
$(2, 3) R (3, 2)$ and $(3, 2) R (5, 30)$ but $((2, 3), (5, 30)) \notin R$. Thus, not transitive.

Therefore, R is symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive.

Consider the following two binary relations on the set $A = {a, b, c}$: $R_1 = {(c, a), (b, b), (a, c), (c, c), (b, c), (a, a)}$ and $R_2 = {(a, b), (b, a), (c, c), (c, a), (a, a), (b, b), (a, c)}$. Then:
