1.Relation and Function

Let $R_1$ be a relation defined by $R_1 =\{(a, b) | a \geq b, a, b \in R\}$ . Then $R_1$ is

A

An equivalence relation on $R$

B

Reflexive, transitive but not symmetric

C

Symmetric, Transitive but not reflexive

D

Neither transitive not reflexive but symmetric

Solution

For any $a \in R$ , we have $a \geq a$, Therefore the relation $R$ is reflexive but it is not symmetric as $(2, 1) \in R$ but $(1, 2) \notin R$ . The relation $R$ is transitive also, because $(a,b) \in R,(b,c) \in R$ imply that $a \geq b$ and $b \geq c$ which is turn imply that $a \geq c$ .
