can anyone provide an expalnation, i couldnt visualise because of the ordered pair.
Can you please explain why is it symmetric? for example (1,2) and (2,1)
here,ordered pair present in relation does not contain single elements,instead of that it contains ordered pairs inside of that ordered pair,                                                 for eg.,if relation is {((a,b),(c,d)),((c,d),(a,b))},it is symmetric                                                           since in first pair ,ad=bc                                                                                                    ..in second pair also,bc=ad..
such that both are present in relation and hence it is symmetric.
