Test whether the following relation R₃ is (i) reflexive (ii) symmetric and (iii) transitive:

R₃ on R is defined by (a, b) ∈ R₃ `⇔` a² – 4ab + 3b² = 0.

Let A = {1, 2, 3}, and let R₁ = {(1, 1), (1, 3), (3, 1), (2, 2), (2, 1), (3, 3)}, R₂ = {(2, 2), (3, 1), (1, 3)}, R₃ = {(1, 3), (3, 3)}. Find whether or not each of the relations R₁, R₂, R₃ on A is (i) reflexive (ii) symmetric (iii) transitive.

The following relation is defined on the set of real numbers.
aRb if a – b > 0

Find whether relation is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.

The following relation is defined on the set of real numbers.

aRb if 1 + ab > 0

Find whether relation is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.

The following relation is defined on the set of real numbers.  aRb if |a| ≤ b

Find whether relation is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.

Prove that every identity relation on a set is reflexive, but the converse is not necessarily true.

If A = {1, 2, 3, 4} define relations on A which have properties of being reflexive, transitive but not symmetric ?

If A = {1, 2, 3, 4} define relations on A which have properties of being symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive ?

If A = {1, 2, 3, 4} define relations on A which have properties of being reflexive, symmetric and transitive ?

Let R be a relation defined on the set of natural numbers N as
R = {(x, y) : x, y ∈ N, 2x + y = 41}
Find the domain and range of R. Also, verify whether R is (i) reflexive, (ii) symmetric (iii) transitive.

Is it true that every relation which is symmetric and transitive is also reflexive? Give reasons.

An integer m is said to be related to another integer n if m is a multiple of n. Check if the relation is symmetric, reflexive and transitive.

Show that the relation '≥' on the set R of all real numbers is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric ?

Given the relation R = {(1, 2), (2, 3)} on the set A = {1, 2, 3}, add a minimum number of ordered pairs so that the enlarged relation is symmeteric, transitive and reflexive.

Let A = {1, 2, 3} and R = {(1, 2), (1, 1), (2, 3)} be a relation on A. What minimum number of ordered pairs may be added to R so that it may become a transitive relation on A.
