Question

If A = {1, 2, 3}, then a relation R = {(2, 3)} on A is _____________ .

Options

  • symmetric and transitive only

  • symmetric only

  • transitive only

  • none of these

Solution

transitive only

The relation R is not reflexive because every element of A is not related to itself. Also, R is not symmetric since on interchanging the elements, the ordered pair in R is not contained in it.

R is transitive by default because there is only one element in it.
