Question
Let R be a relation on the set N of natural numbers defined by nRm
⇔ n is a factor of m (i.e. n(m). Then R is 
Options:
A .  Reflexive and symmetric
B .  Transitive and symmetric
C .  Equivalence
D .  Reflexive, transitive but not symmetric
Answer: Option D
:
D
Since n | n for all n inN,
therefore R is reflexive.
Since 2 | 6 but 6 |2, therefore R is not symmetric.
Let n R m and m R p n|m and m|p n|p nRp
So. R is transitive.
