Let A = {1, 2,3,4, 5,6, 7}. Then the relation R = {(x, y)
A x A: x + y = 7} is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
We have, A ={1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
Reflexive: A relation R on a set A is said to be reflexive if every element of A is related to itself.
Thus, R is reflexive
(a, a)
R for all a
A
(1,1),(2,2), (3,3),......(7, 7) does not satisfy
x + y = 7
Hence R is not reflexive.
Symmetric: A relation R is symmetric on a set A if
(a, b)
R
(b, a)
R for all a, b
4
X + y = 7
Now on interchanging y and a; we get, y + x = 7 which is always true for given set,
Hence R is symmetric.
Transitive: A relation R on A is said to be transitive relation if
(a,b)
R and (b,c)
R
(a, c)
R for all a, 6, c
A
Now taking (a,b)
(3,4) and (b, c)
(4,3) so (a, c)
(3,3) does not satisfy x + y = 7,
Hence, R is not transitive and not equivalence.
Therefore, R is only Symmetric.
