Let R1 and R2 be two relations defined as follows: R1={(a,b)∈R2:a2+b2∈Q} and R2={(a,b)∈R2:a2+b2∉Q}, where Q is the set of all rational numbers. Then :

Solution
The correct option is D Neither R1 nor R2 is transitive. For R1
Let a=1+√2,b=1−√2,c=814 aR1b⇒a2+b2=6∈Q bR1c⇒b2+c2=3∈Q aR1c⇒a2+c2=3+4√2∉Q ∴R1 is not transitive.
For R2
Let a=1+√2,b=√2,c=1−√2 aR2b⇒a2+b2=5+2√2∉Q bR2c⇒b2+c2=5−2√2∉Q aR2c⇒a2+c2=6∈Q ∴R2 is not transitive.
