Question
The following defines a relation on N:
x is greater than y, x, y ∈ N
Determine which of the above relations are reflexive, symmetric and transitive.

Solution
Given, x is greater than y; x, y ∈ N
If (x, x) ∈ R, then x > x, which is not true for any x ∈ N.
Thus, R is not reflexive.
Let (x, y) ∈ R
⇒ xRy
⇒ x > y
So, y > x is not true for any x, y ∈ N
Hence, R is not symmetric.
Let xRy and yRz
⇒ x > y and y > z
⇒ x > z
⇒ xRz
Hence, R is transitive.

An organization conducted a bike race under 2 different categories-boys and girls. Totally there were 250 participants. 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} G={g1,g2} where B represents the set of boys selected and G the set of girls who were selected for the final race.
