The relation R in the set A = {1, 2, 3} given by R = {(1, 2), (2, 1)} is :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
A = {1, 2, 3} R = {(1, 2), (2, 1)}
for every (a, a) ∈ A
(a, a) ∈ R → not true (NOT reflexive)
for every (a, b) ∈ R
(b, a) ∈ R (True ⇒ Symmetric)
as (1, 2) ∈ R ⇒ (2, 1) ∈ R, true
Option 2 → Symmetric
