    Let R = {(1, 3), (4, 2), (2, 4), (2, 3), (3, 1)} be a relation on the set\[A=\{1,2,3,4\}\]. The relation R is         

    A)  a function          

    B)  transitive

    C)  not symmetric                 

    D)  reflexive

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Let R = {(1, 3), (4, 2), (2, 4), (2,3), (3,1)} is a relation on the set\[A=\{1,\text{ }2,\text{ }3,\text{ }4\},\]then (a) Since\[(2,4)\in R\]and\[(2,3)\in R,\]so R is not a function.  (b) Since\[(1,3)\in R\]and\[(3,1)\in R\]but\[(1,1)\cancel{\in }R\]. So R is not transitive.  (c) Since\[(2,3)\in R\]but\[(3,2)\cancel{\in }R,\]so R is not symmetric.  (d) Since\[(4,4)\cancel{\in }R,\]so R is not reflexive, Hence the option  is correct.
