JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Sets Question Bank Relations

    For real numbers x and y, we write \[x\,R\,y\Leftrightarrow \] \[x-y+\sqrt{2}\] is an irrational number. Then the relation R  is

    A) Reflexive

    B) Symmetric

    C) Transitive

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    For any \[x\in R,\] we have \[x-x+\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{2}\] an irrational number. Þ \[xRx\] for all x. So, R is reflexive. R is not symmetric, because \[\sqrt{2}R1\] but \[1\,\not{R}\,\sqrt{2}\], R is not transitive also because \[\sqrt{2}\]R1 and \[1R2\sqrt{2}\] but\[\sqrt{2}\,\not{R}\,2\sqrt{2}\].
