Solution

The correct option is D Transitive relation
(a,b)N×N
(a,b)R(a,b) as ab=ba
Hence, R is reflexive relation.

If (a,b)R(c,d)ad=bc
cb=da
(c,d)R(a,b)
Hence, R is symmetric relation.

Let (a,b)R(c,d)ad=bc (1)
and (c,d)R(e,f)cf=de (2)
From (1) and (2),
af=be(a,b)R(e,f)
(a,b)R(c,d),(c,d)R(e,f)(a,b)R(e,f)
Hence, R is transitive relation.
