Question

the binary relation {(1,1), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (3,1), (3,2)} on the set {1, 2, 3} is __________ *
reflective, symmetric and transitive
irreflexive, symmetric and transitive
neither reflective, nor irreflexive but transitive
irreflexive and antisymmetric

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: c

Explanation: Not reflexive -> (3,3) not present; not irreflexive -> (1, 1) is present; not symmetric -> (2, 1) is present but not (1, 2); not antisymmetric – (2, 3) and (3, 2) are present; not asymmetric -> asymmetry requires both antisymmetry and irreflexivity. So, it is transitive closure of relation.
