Solution

Let A = {1, 2, 3}. Then, the number of relations containing (1, 2) and (1, 3) which are reflexive and symmetric but not transitive is 1.

Explanation:

Since the relation R is reflexive.

Again, since the relation R is symmetric.

Hence, (1, 2), (2, 1) ∈ R and (1, 3), (3, 1) ∈ R

But the relation R is not transitive.

Hence, (3, 1), (1, 2) ∈ R but (3, 2) ∈ R

Now if we take any of the elements (3, 2) and (2, 3) in R, then R becomes transitive.

Hence, the number of required relations is one.
