Let A ={1, 2, 3} and let R1={(1,1),( 1, 3), (3, 1) (2, 2) (2, 1), (3, 3)} R2 = {(2, 2), (3, 1), (1, 3) } R3 = {(1, 3), (3, 3)} R4=A×A Find wether or not each of the relations R1,R2,R3,R4, on A is (a) reflexive (b) symmetric (c) transitive

Solution
(i) R but not S as (2, 1)∈R1 but (1, 2)∉R1 not T as (2, 1) and (1, 3) ∈R1 but (2, 3) ∉R1 (ii) ≠R as all like pairs are not there. It is S but not T as (3, 1) and (1, 3) ∈R2 but (3, 3) ∉R2 (iii) ≠R,≠S but it is T. (iv) R, S, T all as A×A contains all possible ordered pairs.
