MCQ
Let $R$ be a relation on a set $A$ such that $R = {R^{ - 1}}$, then $R$ is
  • A
    Reflexive
  • Symmetric
  • C
    Transitive
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: B.
Symmetric
b
(b) Let $(a,b) \in R$

Then, $(a,b) \in R \Rightarrow (b,a) \in {R^{ - 1}}$, [By def. of ${R^{ - 1}}$]

==> $(b,a) \in R$,$[\because R = {R^{ - 1}}]$

So, $R$ is symmetric.
