Ans : (B)
Hint : If \(a-b=0\) then \(b-a=0\),
if \(a-b\) is irrational then \(b-a\) is irrational
\(\therefore a \rho b \Rightarrow b \rho a \Rightarrow\) symmetric
\(\forall a \in \mathbb{R}, a-a=0 a \rho a \Rightarrow\) reflexive
If \(a=2, b=\sqrt{2}, c=3\), then
\(a \rho b, b \rho c\) but \(a \rho c\) is not true \(\Rightarrow\) not transitive
