Let $R$ be a relation on $N \times N$ defined by $(a, b) R (c, d)$ if and only if $ad(b - c) = bc(a - d)$. Then $R$ is
(A) symmetric and transitive but not reflexive
(B) reflexive and symmetric but not transitive
(C) transitive but neither reflexive nor symmetric
(D) symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Given $(a, b) R (c, d) \implies ad(b - c) = bc(a - d)$.

Symmetric:
$(c, d) R (a, b) \implies cb(d - a) = da(c - b)$. This is symmetric.

Reflexive:
$(a, b) R (a, b) \implies ab(b - a) \neq ba(a - b)$. Thus, not reflexive.

Transitive:
$(2, 3) R (3, 2)$ and $(3, 2) R (5, 30)$ but $((2, 3), (5, 30)) \notin R$. Thus, not transitive.

Therefore, R is symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive.

Let $X = R \times R$. Define a relation R on X as: $(a_1, b_1) R (a_2, b_2) \Leftrightarrow b_1 = b_2$ Statement I: $R$ is an equivalence relation. Statement II: For some $(a, b) \in X$, the set $S = \{(x, y) \in X : (x, y)R(a, b)\}$ represents a line parallel to $y = x$. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
NUMERICAL
Let $A=\{1,2,3, \ldots, 20\}$. Let $R_1$ and $R_2$ two relation on $A$ such that $R_1=\{(a, b): b$ is divisible by $a\}$ $R_2=\{(a, b): a$ is an integral multiple of $b\}$. Then, number of elements in $R_1-R_2$ is equal to _____________.
MCQ_SINGLE
Two newspapers A and B are published in a city. It is known that $25$% of the city populations reads A and $20$% reads B while $8$% reads both A and B. Further, $30$% of those who read A but not B look into advertisements and $40$% of those who read B but not A also look into advertisements, while $50$% of those who read both A and B look into advertisements. Then the percentage of the population who look into advertisement is :-

Let $A = {2, 3, 4}$ and $B = {8, 9, 12}$. Then the number of elements in the relation $R = {((a_1, b_1), (a_2, b_2)) \in (A \times B, A \times B) : a_1$ divides $b_2$ and $a_2$ divides $b_1}$ is :
NUMERICAL
Let $\mathrm{A}=\{-4,-3,-2,0,1,3,4\}$ and $\mathrm{R}=\left\{(a, b) \in \mathrm{A} \times \mathrm{A}: b=|a|\right.$ or $\left.b^{2}=a+1\right\}$ be a relation on $\mathrm{A}$. Then the minimum number of elements, that must be added to the relation $\mathrm{R}$ so that it becomes reflexive and symmetric, is __________
