Let R be the relation on the set A={1,\ ...

Let `R` be the relation on the set `A={1,\ 2,\ 3,\ 4}` given by `R={(1,\ 2),\ (2,\ 2),\ (1,\ 1),\ (4,\ 4),\ (1,\ 3),\ (3,\ 3),\ (3,\ 2)}` . Then, `R` is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive (b) `R` is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric (c) `R` is symmetric and transitive but not reflexive (d) `R` is an equivalence relation

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b) R is reflexive & Transitive but not symmetric.

Consider, `A={1,2,3,4}`
and` R={(1,2),(2,2),(1,1),(4,4),(1,3),(3,3),(3,2)}`
Clearly, R is reflexive but not symmetric as `(1,2) in R `
but `(2,1) in R `.Also R is transitive.

Hence, R is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.
