Question

Given an example of a relation. Which is Reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.

Solution

Define a relation R in R as:

R = {ab): a3 ≥ b3}

Clearly (aa) ∈ R as a3 = a3.

∴R is reflexive.

Now,

(2, 1) ∈ R (as 23 ≥ 13)

But,

(1, 2) ∉ R (as 13 < 23)

∴ R is not symmetric.

Now,

Let (ab), (bc) ∈ R.

⇒ a3 ≥ b3 and b3 ≥ c3

⇒ a3 ≥ c3

⇒ (ac) ∈ R

∴R is transitive.

Hence, relation R is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.
