Students of a school are taken to a railway museum to learn about railways heritage and its history.
An exhibit in the museum depicted many rail lines on the track near the railway station. Let L be the set of all rail lines on the railway track and R be the relation on L defined by $\displaystyle \mathrm{R}=\left\{\left(l_{1}, l_{2}\right): l_{1}\right.$ is parallel to $\displaystyle \left.l_{2}\right\}$ On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions :(i)Find whether the relation R is symmetric or not.(ii)Find whether the relation R is transitive or not.(iii)If one of the rail lines on the railway track is represented by the equation $\displaystyle \mathrm{y}=3 x+2$, then find the set of rail lines in R related to it.Let S be the relation defined by $\displaystyle \mathrm{S}=\left\{\left(l_{1}, l_{2}\right): l_{1}\right.$ is perpendicular to $\displaystyle \left.l_{2}\right\}$ check whether the relation S is symmetric and transitive.

(i)
Find whether the relation R is symmetric or not.
(ii)
Find whether the relation R is transitive or not.
(iii)
If one of the rail lines on the railway track is represented by the equation $\displaystyle \mathrm{y}=3 x+2$, then find the set of rail lines in R related to it.
Let S be the relation defined by $\displaystyle \mathrm{S}=\left\{\left(l_{1}, l_{2}\right): l_{1}\right.$ is perpendicular to $\displaystyle \left.l_{2}\right\}$ check whether the relation S is symmetric and transitive.
Marking-scheme solution
(i)
Let $\displaystyle \left(l_{1}, l_{2}\right) \in \mathrm{R} \Rightarrow l_{1}\left\|l_{2} \Rightarrow l_{2}\right\| l_{1} \Rightarrow\left(l_{2}, l_{1}\right) \in \mathrm{R}, \therefore \mathrm{R}$ is a symmetric relation
(ii)
Let $\displaystyle \left(l_{1}, l_{2}\right),\left(l_{2}, l_{3}\right) \in \mathrm{R} \Rightarrow l_{1}\left\|l_{2}, l_{2}\right\| l_{3} \Rightarrow l_{1} \| l_{3} \Rightarrow\left(l_{1}, l_{3}\right) \in \mathrm{R}, \therefore \mathrm{R}$ is a transitive relation
(iii)
The set is $\displaystyle \{1: 1$ is a line of type $\displaystyle \mathrm{y}=3 x+c, c \in \mathrm{R}\}$
Or
(b) Let $\displaystyle \left(l_{1}, l_{2}\right) \in \mathrm{R} \Rightarrow l_{1} \perp l_{2} \Rightarrow l_{2} \perp l_{1} \Rightarrow\left(l_{2}, l_{1}\right) \in \mathrm{R}, \therefore \mathrm{R}$ is a symmetric relation
Let $\displaystyle \left(l_{1}, l_{2}\right),\left(l_{2}, l_{3}\right) \in \mathrm{R} \Rightarrow l_{1} \perp l_{2}, l_{2} \perp l_{3} \Rightarrow l_{1} \| l_{3} \Rightarrow\left(l_{1}, l_{3}\right) \notin \mathrm{R}, \therefore \mathrm{R}$ is not a transitive relation
** Due to printing error Part (a) or Part(b), both parts be taken as independent questions of $\displaystyle 4$ marks each
