The relation 'is a factor of' on the set of natural numbers is not(1) reflexive(2) symmetric(3) anti symmetric(4) transitive
Step 1
A relation R on a set A is said to be reflexive if every element of set A is related to itself. That is, for all a in A, (a, a) ∈ R. A relation R on a set A is said to be symmetric if for every (a, b) in R, there is (b, a) in R. A relation R on a set A is said Show more…

If $\mathrm{A}=\{4,6,10,12\}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ is a relation defined on $\mathrm{A}$ as "two elements are related if they have exactly one common factor other than $1 "$ ". Then the relation $\mathrm{R}$ is (1) anti symmetric. (2) only transitive. (3) only symmetric. (4) equivalence.
If $A=\{x, y, z\}$, then the relation $R=\{(x, x),(y, y),(z, z),(z, x),(z, y)\}$ is (1) symmetric (2) anti symmetric (3) transitive (4) both (2) and (3)
Let $\mathrm{R}=\left\{(x, y): x, y \in N\right.$ and $\left.x^{2}-4 x y+3 y^{2}=0\right\}$, where $N$ is the set of all natural numbers. Then the relation $R$ is :(a) reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive. (b) symmetric and transitive. (c) reflexive and symmetric, (d) reflexive and transitive.
