Mark the tick against the correct answer in the following:

Let A be the set of all points in a plane and let O be the origin. Let R = {(P, Q) : OP = QQ}. Then, R is


According to the question ,


O is the origin


R = {(P, Q) : OP = OQ }


Formula


For a relation R in set A


Reflexive


The relation is reflexive if (a , a) R for every a A


Symmetric


The relation is Symmetric if (a , b) R , then (b , a) R


Transitive


Relation is Transitive if (a , b) R & (b , c) R , then (a , c) R


Equivalence


If the relation is reflexive , symmetric and transitive , it is an equivalence relation.


Check for reflexive


Consider , (P , P) R OP = OP


which is always true .


Therefore , R is reflexive ……. (1)


Check for symmetric


(P , Q) R OP = OQ


(Q , P) R OQ = OP


Both the equation are the same and therefore will always be true.


Therefore , R is symmetric ……. (2)


Check for transitive


(P , Q) R OP = OQ


(Q , R) R OQ = OR


On adding these both equations, we get , OP = OR


Also,


(P , R) R OP = OR


It will always be true


Therefore , R is transitive ……. (3)


Now , according to the equations (1) , (2) , (3)


Correct option will be (D)
