उत्तर

(i) Reflexivity:

Let x be an element of R.

Then, x is wife of x cannot be true.

( x, x) R

So, R is not a reflexive relation.

(ii) Symmetric:

Let (x, y) R

x is wife of y.

x is female and y is male.

y cannot be wife of x as y is husband of x.

(y, x) R

So, R is not a symmetric relation.

(iii) Transitivity:

If x is the wife of y, then y is not the wife of z.

If (x, y) R and (y, z) R, then (x, z) R.

So R is transitive.

Hence, R is neither reflexive, nor symmetric, but transitive.
