Show that the relation ‘⊂’ with respect to sets is not an equivalence relation.

Answer»

Reflexive: If A is a set, then A ⊂ A.               False 

Symmetric: If A and B are sets and A ⊂ B, then B ⊂ A.        False 

Transitive: If A, B and C are sets and if A ⊂ B and B ⊂ C then A ⊂ C         True 

Hence ‘⊂’ is not an equivalence relation since it possesses only the transitive property.
