1. Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric and transitive:

(i) Relation R in the set A = {1, 2, 3, ……….. 13, 14} defined as R = .

(ii) Relation R in the set N of natural numbers defined as R =.

(iii) Relation R in the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} as R =  

(iv) Relation R in the set Z of all integers defined as R =

(v) Relation R in the set A of human beings in a town at a particular time given by:

(a) R =

(b) R =

(c) R =

(d) R =

(e) R =

Ans. (i) R =  in A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ……13, 14}

Clearly R = {(1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9), (4, 12)}

Since,  R,  R is not reflexive.

Again  R but  R R is not symmetric.

Also (1, 3) R and (3, 9)  R but (1, 9)  R,  R is not transitive.

Therefore, R is neither reflexive, nor symmetric and nor transitive.

(ii) R =  in set N of natural numbers.

Clearly R = {(1, 6), (2, 7), (3, 8)}

Now  R, R is not reflexive.

Again  R but  R R is not symmetric.

Also (1, 6) R and (2, 7)  R but (1, 7)  R,  R is not transitive.

Therefore, R is neither reflexive, nor symmetric and nor transitive.

(iii) R =  in A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Clearly R = (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 2), (2, 4), (2, 6), (3, 3), (3, 6), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6, 6)

Now  i.e., (1, 1), (2, 2) and (3, 3)  R  R is reflexive.

Again  i.e., (1, 2) R but  R R is not symmetric.

Also (1, 4) R and (4, 4)  R and (1, 4)  R, R is transitive.

Therefore, R is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.

(iv) R =  in set Z of all integers.

Now  i.e., (1, 1) = 1 – 1 = 0  Z  R is reflexive.

Again   R and   R, i.e.,  and  are an integerR is symmetric.

Also   Z and   Z and

  R,  R is transitive.

Therefore, R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.

(v) Relation R in the set A of human being in a town at a particular time.

(a) R =

Since  R, because  and  work at the same place. R is reflexive.

Now, if  R and  R, since  and  work at the same place and  and  work at the same place.  R is symmetric.

Now, if  R and  R   R. R is transitive

Therefore, R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.

(b) R =

Since  R, because  and  live in the same locality. R is reflexive.

Also  R  R because  and  live in same locality and  and  also live in same locality. R is symmetric.

Again R and  R  R  R is transitive.

Therefore, R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.

(c) R =

 is not exactly 7 cm taller than , so  R R is not reflexive.

Also  is exactly 7 cm taller than  but  is not 7 cm taller than , so  R but  R R is not symmetric.

Now  is exactly 7 cm taller than  and  is exactly 7 cm taller than  then it does not  imply that  is exactly 7 cm taller than  R is not transitive.

Therefore, R is neither reflexive, nor symmetric and nor transitive.

(d) R =

 is not wife of , so  R  R is not reflexive.

Also  is wife of  but  is not wife of , so  R but  R  R is not symmetric.

Also  R and  R then  R  R is not transitive.

Therefore, R is neither reflexive, nor symmetric and nor transitive.

(e) R =

 is not father of , so  R R is not reflexive.

Also  is father of  but  is not father of ,

so  R but  R  R is not symmetric.

Also  R and  R then  R  R is not transitive.

Therefore, R is neither reflexive, nor symmetric and nor transitive.

Ans.  A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and R = , then R = {(1, 3), (1, 5), (3, 5), (2, 4)}

(a) For   which is even. R is reflexive.

If  is even, then  is also even.   R is symmetric.

Now, if  and  is even then   is also even.  R is transitive.

Therefore, R is an equivalence relation.

(b) Elements of {1, 3, 5} are related to each other.

Since  all are even numbers

 Elements of {1, 3, 5} are related to each other.

Similarly elements of (2, 4) are related to each other.

Since  an even number, then no element of the set {1, 3, 5} is related to any element of (2, 4).

Hence no element of {1, 3, 5} is related to any element of {2, 4}.
