Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2023

Let $\mathrm{A}=\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7\}$. Then the relation $\mathrm{R}=\{(x, y) \in \mathrm{A} \times \mathrm{A}: x+y=7\}$ is :

  1. A reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive
  2. B transitive but neither symmetric nor reflexive
  3. C symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive Correct answer
  4. D an equivalence relation

Solution

Here, $A=\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7\}$ <br/><br/>Since, $x+y=7 \Rightarrow y=7-x$ <br/><br/>So, $\mathrm{R}=\{(1,6),(2,5),(3,4),(4,3),(5,2),(6,1)\}$ <br/><br/>$\because(a, b) \in \mathrm{R} \Rightarrow(b, a) \in \mathrm{R}$ <br/><br/>$\therefore \mathrm{R}$ is symmetric only.
