Let A and B be two non-empty relations on a set S. Which of the following statements is false?(a) A and B are transitive ⇒ A∩B is transitive(b) A and B are symmetric ⇒ A∪B is symmetric(c) A and B are transitive ⇒ A∪B is not transitive(d) A and B are reflexive ⇒ A∩B is reflexiveI got this question in an online interview.I'm obligated to ask this question of Types of Relations topic in section Relations of Discrete Mathematics

Answer»

Correct option is (c) A and B are transitive ⇒ A∪B is not transitive

The explanation: In TERMS of SET THEORY, the binary relation R defined on the set X is a transitive relation if, for all a, b, c ∈ X, if ARB and bRc, then aRc. If there are two relations on a set satisfying transitive property then there union must satisfy transitive property.
