MCQ

Choose the correct answer from the given four options.
Consider the non-empty set consisting of children in a family and a relation R defined as aRb if a is brother of b. Then R is:

A
Symmetric but not transitive.
✓
Transitive but not symmetric.
C
Neither symmetric nor transitive.
D
Both symmetric and transitive.

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

Transitive but not symmetric.

We are given that a relation R defined aRb ⇒ a is brother of b.
aRa ⇒ a is brother of a, which is not true.

Hence, R is not reflexive.

aRb ⇒ a is brother of b.

This does not mean b is also a brother of a and b can be a sister of a.

Hence, it is not symmetric.

aRb ⇒ a is brother of b

and bRc ⇒ b is a brother of c.

So, a is brother of c.

Hence, R is transitive.
