1.Relation and Function
normal
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 $a \geq c$ .
