Let us assume that they planted one of the rows of the saplings along the line y = x − 4. Let L be the set of all lines which are parallel on the ground and R be a relation on L.

Answer the following using the above information.

• Let relation R be defined by R = {(L₁, L₂): L₁║L₂ where L₁, L₂ ∈ L} then R is ____________ relation.

Options

• Equivalence

• Only reflexive

• Not reflexive

• Symmetric but not transitive

Answer 1
