 Let R be the relation on the set of all real numbers defined  by aRb iff |ab|1 . Then, R is 

a
Reflexive and symmetric
b
Symmetric only
c
Transitive only
d
Anti-symmetric only

detailed solution

Correct option is A

|a−a|=0<1∴aRa∀a∈RTherefore, R is reflexive. Again aRb⇒|a−b|≤1 and b−a∣≤1⇒bRaTherefore, R is symmetric.  Again 1R12 and 12R1 but 12≠1Therefore, R is not anti-symmetric.  Further, 1R2 and 2R3 but 1R3,[∵|1−3|=2>1]Therefore, R is not transitive.
