उत्तर
Consider a relation R in R defined as:
R = {(a, b): a < b}
For any a ∈ R, we have (a, a) ∉ R since a cannot be strictly less than a itself. In fact, a = a.
∴ R is not reflexive.
Now,
(1, 2) ∈ R (as 1 < 2)
But, 2 is not less than 1.
∴ (2, 1) ∉ R
∴ R is not symmetric.
Now, let (a, b), (b, c) ∈ R.
⇒ a < b and b < c
⇒ a < c
⇒ (a, c) ∈ R
∴ R is transitive.
Hence, relation R is transitive but not reflexive and symmetric.
