Question

R is the relation in a (1 2 3 4 5 6) as R ( a b) :b=a+1)is​

Answer 1

ANSWER

Given, the relation R defined on the set A={1,2,3,4,5,6} as R={(a,b):b=a+1}.

The relation is not reflexive as a



=a+1, for any a∈A.

Also 3=2+1 but 2



=3+1 i.e. (2,3)∈R but (3,2)



∈R, so the relation is not symmetric.

Now, (2,3)∈R,(3,4)∈R but (2,4)



∈R since 3=2+1,4=3+1 but 4



=2+1.

So the relation is not transitive also
