Question

'Greater than' is said to be transitive (relation) since A is greater than B and B is greater than C imply A is greater than C. Similarly 'friend of ' is said to be symmetric since if A is a friend of B, then B is a friend of A. if so, what kind of relation is 'analogous'?

Options

• Transitive

• Symmetric

• Identical

• Transitive and symmetric

Answer 1

Transitive

Explanation:

'lf A is greater than B & B is greater than C, then A is greater then C' is a relation that is analogous. However, 'if A is friend of B and B is friend of C does not mean A is friend of C'. Therefore, it is not analogous 'Transitive' is correct.
