Assertion (A): The relation \(R\) defined on a set \(\{5, 7, 9, 11, 13\}\) as \(R = \{(a, b) : \text{when } a + b \text{ is divided by } 3 \text{ leaves remainder } 1\}\) is transitive.

Reason (R): A relation \(R\) on a set \(A\) is transitive if \((a, b) \in R, (b, c) \in R \Rightarrow (a, c) \in R\).

  1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
  4. (A) is false but (R) is true.

Answer

(D) (A) is false but (R) is true.
