Question

Let $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ be two relations defined as follows:
$R_{1} = {(a, b) \in R^{2} : a^{2} + b^{2} \in Q}$ and $R_{2} = {(a, b) \in R^{2} : a^{2} + b^{2} \notin Q} .$ Then

Neither

R_{1}

nor

R_{2}

is a transitive relation

Solution

The correct option is A Neither $R_{1}$ nor $R_{2}$ is a transitive relation
$R_{1} = {(a, b) \in R^{2} : a^{2} + b^{2} \in Q}$

Let $a = 2 + \sqrt{3}$ and $b = 2 - \sqrt{3}$
$\Rightarrow a^{2} + b^{2} = 14 \in Q$
Let $c = (1 + 2 \sqrt{3})$
$\Rightarrow b^{2} + c^{2} = 20 \in Q$
But $a^{2} + c^{2} = (2 + \sqrt{3})^{2} + (1 + 2 \sqrt{3})^{2} \notin Q$

Since $(2 + \sqrt{3}, 2 - \sqrt{3})$ and $(2 - \sqrt{3}, 1 + 2 \sqrt{3}) \in R_{1}$ but $(2 + \sqrt{3}, 1 + 2 \sqrt{3}) \notin R_{1} .$
So, $R_{1}$ is not a transitive relation $\dots (1)$

$R_{2} = {(a, b) \in R^{2} : a^{2} + b^{2} \notin Q} .$
Let $a^{2} = 1, b^{2} = \sqrt{3}$ and $c^{2} = 2$
$\Rightarrow a^{2} + b^{2} \notin Q$ and $b^{2} + c^{2} \notin Q$
But $a^{2} + c^{2} \in Q$
Since $(1, \sqrt{\sqrt{3}})$ and $(\sqrt{\sqrt{3}}, \sqrt{2}) \notin R_{2}$ but $(1, \sqrt{2}) \in R_{2} .$
So, $R_{2}$ is not a transitive relation $\dots (2)$

$∴$ From $(1)$ and $(2)$ we can say that Neither $R_{1}$ nor $R_{2}$ is a transitive relation.
