If A=A1,A2,A3...

Question

If $A = {A_{1}, A_{2}, A_{3}, A_{4}, A_{5}, A_{6}}$ be the set of six unit circles with centres at $C_{1}, C_{2}, C_{3} . . . C_{6}$ as shown in the diagram. The relation $R$ on $A$ is defined by
$(A_{i}, A_{j}) \in R ⟺ C_{i} C_{j} \leq 2 \sqrt{2}, i, j \in {1, 2..., 6}$ where $C_{i} C_{j}$ represents distance between the centres $C_{i} and C_{j}$ , then

Solution

The correct option is C $R$ is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive relation.
As distance between centres of same circle $= 0$
$\Rightarrow C_{i} C_{i} = 0 \leq 2 \sqrt{2}$
$\Rightarrow (A_{i}, A_{i}) \in R \forall i = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}$
So, $R$ is reflexive relation.

Let, $(A_{i}, A_{j}) \in R$
$\Rightarrow C_{i} C_{j} \leq 2 \sqrt{2}$
$\Rightarrow C_{j} C_{i} \leq 2 \sqrt{2}$
$\Rightarrow (A_{j}, A_{i}) \in R$
If $(A_{i}, A_{j}) \in R \Rightarrow (A_{j}, A_{i}) \in R$
So, $R$ is symmetric relation.

From diagram $(A_{1}, A_{2}) \in R$ and $(A_{2}, A_{3}) \in R$ but $(A_{1}, A_{3}) \notin R$
as, $C_{1} C_{3} = 4 > 2 \sqrt{2}$
So, $R$ is not transitive relation.
