Let us define a relation $R$ in $R$ as $aRb$ if $a \ge b$. Then, $R$ is |
an equivalence relation reflexive, transitive but not symmetric symmetric, transitive but not reflexive neither transitive nor reflexive but symmetric |
reflexive, transitive but not symmetric |
The correct answer is Option (2) → reflexive, transitive but not symmetric ## Given that, $aRb$ if $a \ge b$ $\Rightarrow aRa \Rightarrow a \ge a$ which is true. Let $aRb, a \ge b$, then $b \ge a$ which is not true. $R$ is not symmetric. But $aRb$ and $bRc$ $\Rightarrow a \ge b$ and $b \ge c$ $\Rightarrow a \ge c$ Hence, $R$ is transitive. |
