Let and be a relation on the set . The relation is:

  1. A
    reflexive and transitive only
  2. B
    reflexive only
  3. C
    an equivalence relation
  4. D
    reflexive and symmetric only

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. Reflexive: A relation is reflexive if for every , . Here, . So, it is reflexive.2. Symmetric: A relation is symmetric if . Here, but . So, it is not symmetric.3. Transitive: A relation is transitive if and .For and , we have .Checking all pairs, we find it satisfies transitivity.Hence, the relation is reflexive and transitive only.
