Let R be a relation on the set of natural numbers N defined by nRm if n divides m. Then R is :

(A) Reflexive Relation

(B) Symmetric Relation

(C) Transitive Relation

(D) Identity Relation

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Reflexive: nn divides nn, yes.

Symmetric: 2∣42|4 but 4∤24\nmid 2, no.

Transitive: if n∣mn|m and m∣pm|p, then n∣pn|p, yes.

Identity: requires nRmnRm only if n=mn=m; here 2∣42|4 so no.

Reflexive and Transitive only.
