Medium MCQ +4 / -1

A relation R on set {1, 2, 3} is defined as R = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 2)}. R is:

  1. A Reflexive only
  2. B Symmetric only
  3. C Transitive only Correct answer
  4. D An equivalence relation

Solution

R is transitive because (1,2) and (2,2) are in R, and (1,2) is in R. It is not reflexive (3,3 missing), not symmetric (2,1 missing), so not an equivalence relation.
