Question

Reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.

Open in App
Solution

Define a relation R in R as:
R={(a,b):a3b3}
Clearly (a,a)R as a3=a3.
R is reflexive.
Now, (2,1)R (as2313)
But, (1,2)R(as13<23)
R is not symmetric.
Let (a,b),(b,c)R
a3b3 and b3c3
a3c3
(a,c)R
R is transitive.
Hence, relation R is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.
