A .   Reflexive and transitive
B .   reflexive and symmetric
C .   Symmetric and transitive
D .   an equivalence relation
Answer: Option B
:
B
As (x,x) ϵ R   |xx| 1
0 1 (True),
Thus, reflexive.
As (x,y) ϵ R     |xy| 1
    |yx||1  (y,x) ϵ R,
Thus, symmetric.
Again, (x, y) ϵ R and (y, z) ϵ R
|xy| 1   and |yz|1/|xz| 1
Not transitive
