Let and \{(1,1),(1,3),(3,1),(2,2),(2,1),(3,3) then the relation and is

Let \( A=\{1,2,3\} \) and \( R= \) \{(1,1),(1,3),(3,1),(2,2),(2,1),(3,3) then the relation \( R \) and \( A \) is

  • A. reflexive
  • B. symmetric
  • C. transitive
  • D. equivalence

Step-by-step solution

The relation R is reflexive because it contains (1,1), (2,2), and (3,3) for all elements of A. It is not symmetric because (2,1) is present but (1,2) is missing. It is not transitive because (2,1) and (1,3) are present but (2,3) is missing. Thus, only reflexivity holds.
