The relation R on the set N of natural numbers defined as R={(x,y):y=x+3 and x≤5}R = \{(x,y): y = x+3 \text{ and } x \le 5\} is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The relation is the finite set {(1,4),(2,5),(3,6),(4,7),(5,8)}\{(1,4),(2,5),(3,6),(4,7),(5,8)\}.

No pair (x,x)(x,x) appears, so it is not reflexive; (1,4)(1,4) is present but (4,1)(4,1) is not, so it is not symmetric; (1,4)(1,4) and (4,7)(4,7) are present but (1,7)(1,7) is not, so it is not transitive.
