Question

Choose the correct answer from the given four options.
Let us define a relation R in R as aRb if a ≥ b. Then R is:

An equivalence relation.
Reflexive, transitive but not symmetric.
Symmetric, transitive but not reflexive.
Neither transitive nor reflexive but symmetric.

Answer

Reflexive, transitive but not symmetric.

Solution:

We are given that, aRb if a ≥ b

⇒ aRa ⇒ a ≥ a which is true.

For relation aRb to be symmetric, we must have a ≥ b and b ≥ a which can’t be possible.

Hence, R is not symmetric.

For relation aRb to be transitive, we must have aRb and bRc.

⇒ a ≥ b and b ≥ c

⇒ a ≥ c

Hence, R is transitive.
