Question

If R and S are transitive relations on a set A, then prove that R ∪ S may not be a transitive relation on A.

Solution

Let  A = {a, b, c} and R and S be two relations on A, given by

R = {(a, a), (a, b), (b, a), (b, b)} and
S = {(b, b), (b, c), (c, b), (c, c)}

Here, the relations R and S are transitive on A.

(a, b∈ ∪ S and (b, c∈ ∪ S

But (a, c∉ ∪ S 

Hence, R ∪ S is not a transitive relation on A.
