Let

R

be a relation on the set

N

of natural numbers defined by

nRm \Leftrightarrow n

is a factor of

m

m{\text{(i}}.{\text{e}}.n\,{\text{|}}\,m).

Then,

R

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

Reflexive, transitive but not symmetric

Option D (Reflexive, transitive but not symmetric) is correct because n is always a factor of itself, if n is a factor of m and m is a factor of p, then n is a factor of p, but if n is a factor of m, m is not necessarily a factor of n.
