If and is a relation defined on such that . Then the relation is:
- AReflexive and symmetric but not transitive
- BReflexive and transitive but not symmetric
- CReflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive
- DReflexive, symmetric and transitive
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Reflexive: For to be reflexive on , for all .Here . So, is reflexive.Symmetric: For to be symmetric, .Here but . Also but . So, is not symmetric.Transitive: For to be transitive, and .Here and but . So, is not transitive.Conclusion: is reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive.
