Question -

If A = {1, 2, 3, 4} define relations on A which have properties of being
(i) Reflexive, transitive but not symmetric
(ii) Symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive.
(iii) Reflexive, symmetric and transitive.



Answer -

(i) The relation on A having properties of being reflexive, transitive, but not symmetric is

R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (2, 1)}
Relation R satisfies reflexivity and transitivity.
тЗТ (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3) тИИ R 
And (1, 1), (2, 1) тИИ R тЗТ (1, 1) тИИ R
However, (2, 1) тИИ R, but (1, 2) тИЙ R
(ii)  The relation on A having properties of being reflexive, transitive, but not symmetric is

R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (2, 1)}
Relation R satisfies reflexivity and transitivity.
тЗТ (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3) тИИ R 
And (1, 1), (2, 1) тИИ R тЗТ (1, 1) тИИ R
However, (2, 1) тИИ R, but (1, 2) тИЙ R
(iii) The relation on A having properties of being symmetric, reflexive and transitive is

R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (1, 2), (2, 1)}

The relation R is an equivalence relation on A.
