Let the relation \(R\) on the set \(\text{M}=\left{1,2,3,\ldots ,16\right}\) be given by \(\text{R}=\left{\left(x,y\right):4y=5x−3,x,y\in \text{M}\right}\).

Then the minimum number of elements required to be added in \(R,\) in order to make the relation symmetric, is equal to

Explanation

Given, \(\text{R}=\left{\left(x,y\right):4y=5x−3,x,y\in \text{M}\right}\) and \(\text{M}=\left{1,2,3,\ldots ,16\right}\)

\(R=\left{\left(3,3\right),\left(7,8\right),\left(11,13\right)\right}\)

To make it symmetric \((8,7),(13,11)\) must be added.
