Answer» Solution :(i)`d(A,A)=0 lt 2. SO ,AR A. ` `(ii)A R Bimplies d(A,B)LT2` `impliesd(B,A)lt 2[:' d(B,A)=d(A,B)]` `implies B R A. ` (iii)considerthepoints `A(0,0),B(1.5,0)and C (3,0)` on thex- AXIS then`d(A,B)1.5,D(B,C)=1.5 andd (A,C)=3.` thereforeA RB and BRC butA, is notrelatedto C. So, R isnot transitive . |
