    Let \[R\,\,:\,\,B\,\to \,B\] be defined by \[R=\left\{ \left( x,\,y \right) \right.\,:\,\]x and y are students of same sex}. Then this relation R is

    A) Equivalence

    B) Reflexive only

    C) Reflexive and symmetric but not transitive

    D) Reflexive and transitive but not symmetric

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[B=\left\{ {{b}_{1}},\,{{b}_{2}},\,{{b}_{3}} \right\},\,G=\left\{ {{g}_{1}},\,{{g}_{2}} \right\}\] \[\left( a,\,\,a \right)\in \,R\Rightarrow R\] is reflexive \[\left( a,\,b \right)\in R\Rightarrow \left( b,\,c \right)\in R\]; both a and b have same sex \[\Rightarrow R\] is symmetric Also \[\left( a,\,\,b \right)\in \,R\Rightarrow \left( b,\,\,c \right)\,\in R\Rightarrow \left( a,\,\,c \right)\in R\] \[\Rightarrow R\]is transitive.
