Question

Defines a relation on :
  x > y, x, y ∈  N

Determine the above relation is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.

Sum

Solution

We have,

R = {(x, y) : x > y, x, y ∈ N}

As, x ∈ N

⇒ (x,x∉ R

So, R is not a reflexive relation

Let (x,y∈ R

⇒ y

but  x

⇒ (y,x∉ R

So, R is not a symmeteric relation

Let (x,y)R and (y,z∈ R

⇒ y and z

⇒ z

⇒ (x,z∈ R

So, R is a transitive relation
