As we learnt

 

SYMMETRIC RELATION -

 

A relation R in A is said to be symmetric, if a R b ⇒ b R a,∀ a,b ∈ A

-

 

 

\left | a-a \right |= 0<1\: \therefore aRa\: \forall \: a\in R

\therefore R is reflexive.

Also aRb\Rightarrow \left | a-b \right |\leq 1\Rightarrow \left | b-a \right |\leq 1\Rightarrow bRa


Option 1)

Reflexive and symmetric

Option 2)

symmetric only

Option 3)

Transitive

Option 4)

Anti-symmetric only
