Q.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 = {(x, y): 3x − y = 0}
(ii) Relation R in the set N of natural numbers
defined as R = {(x, y): y = x + 5 and x < 4}
(iii) Relation R in the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} as
R = {(x, y): y is divisible by x}
(iv) Relation R in the set Z of all integers defined as
R = {(x, y): x − y is as integer}
(v) Relation R in the set A of human beings in a
town at a particular time given by
(a) R = {(x, y): x and y work at the same place}
(b) R = {(x, y): x and y live in the same locality}
(c) R = {(x, y): x is exactly 7 cm taller than y}
(d) R = {(x, y): x is wife of y}
(e) R = {(x, y): x is father of y}
Ans
i) A = {1, 2, 3 … 13, 14}
R = {(x, y): 3x − y = 0 or y=3x}
∴ R = {(1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9), (4, 12)}
Given relation R is not reflexive because
(1, 1), (2, 2), (3,3)… (14, 14) ∉ R.
Also, R is not a symmetric relation as
(2, 6) ∈R, but (6,2) ∉ R.
Also, R is not transitive as (1, 3), (3, 9) ∈R,
but (1, 9) ∉ R.
Hence, R is neither reflexive, nor symmetric, nor transitive.

Ans
Q.3 Check whether the relation R defined in the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} as R = {(a, b): b = a + 1} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.
Ans
Given A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. A relation R is defined
on A as: R = {(a, b): b = a + 1}
