Description : On a set N of all natural numbers is defined the relation R by a R b iff the GCD of a and b is 2, then R is -Maths 9th
Last Answer : (c) Symmetric only Let a ∈N. Then (a, a) ∉R as the GCD of a' and a' is a' not 2. R is not reflexive Let a, b ∈N. Then, (a, b) ∉R ⇒ GCD of a' and b' is 2 ⇒ GCD of b' and a' is 2 ⇒ (b, a) ∈R ∴ R ... , let a = 4, b = 10, c = 12 GCD of (4, 10) = 2 GCD of (10, 12) = 2 But GCD of (4, 12) = 4.
