Let R be the relation in the set {1, 2, 3, 4} given by R = {(1, 2), (2, 2), (1, 1), (4, 4), (1, 3), (3, 3), (3, 2)}. Then R is(a) Reflexive and symmetric but not transitive (b) Reflexive and transitive but not symmetric (c) Symmetric and transitive but not reflexive (d) An equivalence relations |
Answer» (b) Reflexive and transitive but not symmetric Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4} • ∵ (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3) and (4, 4) ∈R ⇒ R is reflexive • ∵ (1, 2) ∈ R but (2, 1) ∉ R ; (1, 3) ∈ R and (3, 1) ∉ R ; (3, 2) ∈R and (2, 3) ∉ R ⇒ R is not symmetric • (1, 3) ∈ R and (3, 2) ∈ R and (1, 2) ∈ R ⇒ R is transitive. |
