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.

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 ___________.

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:
