Question

Discuss the following relation for reflexivity, symmetricity and transitivity:

The relation R defined on the set of all positive integers by “mRn if m divides n”

Sum
Advertisements

Solution

S = {set of all positive integers}

(a) mRm ⇒ ‘m’ divides’m’ ⇒ reflexive

(b) mRn ⇒ m divides n but

nRm ⇒ n does not divide m

(i.e.,) mRn ≠ nRm

It is not symmetric

(c) mRn ⇒ nRr as n divides r

It is transitive
