Question
Mark the correct alternative in the following question:
Let L denote the set of all straight lines in a plane. Let a relation R be defined by lRm iff l is perpendicular to m for all l, m
∈
L. Then, R is
(a) reflexive (b) symmetric (c) transitive (d) none of these
[NCERT EXEMPLAR]

Solution
We
have
,
R
=
l
,
m
:
l
is
perpendicular
to
m
;
l
,
m
∈
L
As
,
l
is
not
perpencular
to
l
⇒
l
,
l
∉
R
So
,
R
is
not
reflexive
relation
Let
l
,
m
∈
R
⇒
l
is
perpendicular
to
m
⇒
m
is
also
perpendicular
to
l
⇒
m
,
l
∈
R
So
,
R
is
symmetric
relation
Let
l
,
m
∈
R
and
m
,
n
∈
R
⇒
l
is
perpendicular
to
m
and
m
is
perpendicular
to
n
⇒
l
is
parallel
to
n
Lines
perpendicular
to
same
line
are
parallel
⇒
m
,
l
∉
R
So
,
R
is
not
transitive
relation
Hence, the correct alternative is option (b).
