R is relation over the set of integers and it is given by (x, y) ϵ R ⇔ R |x - y| ≤ 1. Then, R is
Options:
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 ⇒|x−x|≤ 1 ⇒ 0 ≤ 1 (True), Thus, reflexive. As (x,y) ϵ R ⇒|x−y|≤ 1 ⇒|y−x||≤1⇒ (y,x) ϵ R, Thus, symmetric. Again, (x, y) ϵ R and (y, z) ϵ R ⇒|x−y|≤ 1 and |y−z|1/⇒|x−z|≤ 1 ∴ Not transitive
