Let R be the relation on the set of positive integers such that aRb if and only if bear distinct and have a common divisor other than 1. Which one of the following statements about R is true?
A.
R is symmetric and reflexive but not transitive
R is symmetric and reflexive but not transitive
B.
R is reflexive but not symmetric and not transitive
R is reflexive but not symmetric and not transitive
C.
R is transitive but not reflexive and not symmetric
R is transitive but not reflexive and not symmetric
D.
R is symmetric but not reflexive and not transitive
R is symmetric but not reflexive and not transitive
Solution
D. R is symmetric but not reflexive and not transitive
Explanation
R cannot be reflexive as 'a' and 'b' have to be distinct in aRb. R is symmetric if a and b have a common divisor, then b and a also have. R is not transitive as aRb and bRc doesn't mean aRc. For example 3 and 15 have common divisor, 15 and 5 have common divisor, but 3 and 5 don't have.
