Question
Mark the correct alternative in the following question:
For real numbers x and y, define xRy iff
x
-
y
+
2
is an irrational number. Then the relation R is
(a) reflexive (b) symmetric (c) transitive (d) none of these

Solution
We
have
,
R
=
x
,
y
:
x
-
y
+
2
is
an
irrational
number
;
x
,
y
∈
R
As
,
x
-
x
+
2
=
2
,
which
is
an
irrational
number
⇒
x
,
x
∈
R
So
,
R
is
reflexive
relation
Since
,
2
,
2
∈
R
i
.
e
.
2
-
2
+
2
=
2
2
-
2
,
which
is
an
irrational
number
but
2
-
2
+
2
=
2
,
which
is
a
rational
number
⇒
2
,
2
∉
R
So
,
R
is
not
symmetric
relation
Also
,
2
,
2
∈
R
and
2
,
2
2
∈
R
i
.
e
.
2
-
2
+
2
=
2
2
-
2
,
which
is
an
irrational
number
and
2
-
2
2
+
2
=
2
-
2
,
which
is
also
an
irrational
number
But
2
-
2
2
+
2
=
0
,
which
is
a
rational
number
⇒
2
,
2
2
∉
R
So
,
R
is
not
transitive
relation
Hence, the correct alternative is option (a).
