The relation RR~is defined in the set \left\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\right\}asasR = \left\{( a, b ) : b = a + 1\right\}, then&

Options

  1. ARR is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive
  2. BRR is neither reflexive nor symmetric but transitive
  3. CRR is not reflexive but symmetric and transitive
  4. DRR is reflexive, symmetric and transitive

Correct answer

A. RR is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive

Step-by-step solution

Let, A={1,2,3,4,5,6}A = \left\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\right\}

The relation RR is defined on set AA is

R={(a,b):b=a+1}R = \left\{\left(a, b\right): b = a + 1\right\}. Therefore, R={(1,2),(2,3),(3,4),(4,5),(5,6)}R = \left\{(1,2) , (2,3) , (3,4) , (4,5) , (5,6)\right\}

Now, 6∈A6 \in A but (6,6)∉R(6,6) \notin R.

Therefore, RR is not reflexive.

It can be observed that (1,2)∈R(1,2) \in \mathbb{R} but (2,1)∉R(2,1) \notin R. Therefore, R is not symmetric.

Now, (1,2),(2,3)∈R(1,2) , (2,3) \in \mathbb{R} but (1,3)∉R(1,3) \notin R. Therefore, RR is not transitive.

Hence, RR is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive
