Question
Three relation Ris defined in set A = {a, b, c} as follows:
R2 = {(a, a)}
Find whether or not the relation Ron A is:
  1. Reflexive.
  2. Symmetric.
  3. Transitive.

Answer

R2 is Reflexive: Clearly $\text{a, a}\in\text{R}_2$
Therefore, R2 is reflexive.
Symmetric: Clearly, $\text{a, a}\in\text{R}\Rightarrow\ \text{a, a}\in\text{R}.$
Therefore, R2 is symmetric.
Transitive: R2 is clearly a transitive relation, since there is only one element in it.
