Show that the relation `geq` on the set `R` of all real numbers is reflexive and transitive but nut symmetric.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let us denote the relation `geq` on the set of real numbers `{R}` be `R={(a, b): a, b in` `{R}, {a} geq {b}}`.

Then this relation `R` is reflexive as `a geq a, forall a in R`.

But this relation is not symmetric as `3 geq 2` but `2 geqq 3` i.e. `(3,2) in R` but `(2,3) in R`. Also this relation is transitive as `a geq b, b geq c Rightarrow a geq c` i.e. `(a, b) in R,(b, c) in R Rightarrow` `(a, c) in R, forall a, b, c in R`.
