Let L be the set of all lines in a plane and R be the relation on L defined as L₁ R L₂ if L₁ is perpendicular to L₂. Then R is:
Let L be the set of all lines in a plane and R be the relation on L defined as L₁ R L₂ if L₁ is perpendicular to L₂. Then R is:
- A. Reflexive
- B. Symmetric
- C. Transitive
- D. Equivalence
Answer: B) Symmetric
Explanation: A line cannot be perpendicular to itself (not reflexive). If L₁ ⊥ L₂, then L₂ ⊥ L₁ (symmetric). If L₁ ⊥ L₂ and L₂ ⊥ L₃, then L₁ is parallel to L₃, not perpendicular (not transitive).
