Solution

Given that, A = {1, 2, 3}.

Let R1 = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 3), (2, 2), (1, 3), (3, 3)}

R1 is reflexive as (1, 1), (2, 2) and (3, 3) lie is R1.

R1 is transitive as (1, 2) ∈ R1, (2, 3) ∈ R1 ⇒ (1, 3) ∈ R1

Now, (1, 2) ∈ R1 ⇒ (2, 1) ∉ R1.

Read the following passage:

An organization conducted bike race under two different categories – Boys and Girls. There were 28 participants in all. Among all of them, finally three from category 1 and two from category 2 were selected for the final race. Ravi forms two sets B and G with these participants for his college project.
Let B = {b1, b2, b3} and G = {g1, g2}, where B represents the set of Boys selected and G the set of Girls selected for the final race.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
