 The relation R defined on the set N of natural numbers by xRy2x23xy+y2=0 is 

a
symmetric but not reflexive
b
only symmetric
c
not symmetric but reflexive
d
equivalence

detailed solution

Correct option is C

(i) xRx⇔2x2−3x⋅x+x2=0;∀x∈N So, R is reflexive  (ii) For x=1,y=2;2x2−3xy+y2=0∴1R2 but 2×12−3×2×1+22=3≠0So, 2 is not R- related to 1. So, R is not symmetric.
