Question
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 |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
