If (a, b) in R always gives (b, a) in R, the relation is:
AReflexive
BTransitive
CUniversal
DSymmetric
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Symmetric
1. Symmetry asks that a pair may be read either way round.
2. So (a, b) in R must force (b, a) into R as well.
3. The relation described is therefore symmetric.
