Class 12 Maths · Relations And Functions · Mcq Single Correct #28

A family has exactly three children: two brothers \(B_1,B_2\) and their sister \(S\). On \(A=\{B_1,B_2,S\}\), define \(xRy\) to mean that \(x\) is a brother of \(y\), with no child considered their own brother. Which property does \(R\) have?

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: Option (D): None of these
  1. The relation is \(\{(B_1,B_2),(B_1,S),(B_2,B_1),(B_2,S)\}\). It is not reflexive. It is not symmetric because \(B_1RS\), but not \(SRB_1\). It is not transitive because \(B_1RB_2\) and \(B_2RB_1\), but not \(B_1RB_1\). Thus none of the three listed properties holds.
