1.

Let A = {1, 2, 3} and R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1, 2), (2, 3)}.Show that R is reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive.

Answer»

We know that 1, 2, 3 ∈ A and (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3) ∈ R for each a ∈ A, (a, a) ∈ R

Hence, R is reflexive.

We know that (1, 2) ∈ R but (2, 1) ∉ R

Hence, R is not symmetric.

We know that

(1, 2) ∈ R and (2, 3) ∈ R but (1, 3) ∉ R

Hence, R is not transitive
