Give a relation ,(2,3)\} \) on the set of natural numbers, add a minimum number

Give a relation \( \mathrm{R}=\{(1,2),(2,3)\} \) on the set of natural numbers, add a minimum number of ordered pairs. This question has multiple correct options

  • A. enlarged relation is symmetric
  • B. enlarged relation is transitive
  • C. enlarged relation is reflexive.
  • D. enlarged relation is equivalence relation

Step-by-step solution

To make the relation transitive, we need to add (1,3) because (1,2) and (2,3) imply (1,3). This is the minimum addition (1 pair) to achieve transitivity.
