Let $R$ be a relation on $Z \times Z$ defined by $(a, b)R(c, d)$ if and only if $ad - bc$ is divisible by $5$. Then $R$ is
(A) Reflexive and transitive but not symmetric
(B) Reflexive and symmetric but not transitive
(C) Reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive
(D) Reflexive, symmetric and transitive
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
Reflexive:
Since $a*b - a*b = 0$ is divisible by $5$, $(a, b)R(a, b)$ holds.
Symmetric:
If $(a, b)R(c, d)$, then $ad - bc$ is divisible by $5$. Thus, $bc - ad$ is divisible by $5$, so $(c, d)R(a, b)$ holds.
Not Transitive:
Consider $(3, 1)R(10, 5)$ because $3*5 - 1*10 = 5$ is divisible by $5$.
Consider $(10, 5)R(1, 1)$ because $10*1 - 5*1 = 5$ is divisible by $5$.
But $(3, 1)$ is not related to $(1, 1)$ because $3*1 - 1*1 = 2$ is not divisible by $5$.
Hence, $R$ is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive.

In a survey of 220 students of a higher secondary school, it was found that at least 125 and at most 130 students studied Mathematics; at least 85 and at most 95 studied Physics; at least 75 and at most 90 studied Chemistry; 30 studied both Physics and Chemistry; 50 studied both Chemistry and Mathematics; 40 studied both Mathematics and Physics and 10 studied none of these subjects. Let $m$ and $n$ respectively be the least and the most number of students who studied all the three subjects. Then $\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n}$ is equal to ___________.
