Section 1.1 & 1.2: Types of Relations
Exercise 1
Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric and transitive:
Relation \(R\) in the set \(A = \{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 13, 14\}\) defined as
\[R = \{(x, y) : 3x - y = 0\}\]Relation \(R\) in the set \(\mathbb{N}\) of natural numbers defined as
\[R = \{(x, y) : y = x + 5 \text{ and } x < 4\}\]Relation \(R\) in the set \(A = \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}\) as
\[R = \{(x, y) : y \text{ is divisible by } x\}\]Relation \(R\) in the set \(\mathbb{Z}\) of all integers defined as
\[R = \{(x, y) : x - y \text{ is an integer}\}\]Relation \(R\) in the set \(A\) of human beings in a town at a particular time given by
- \(R = \{(x, y) : x \text{ and } y \text{
work at the same place}\}\)
- \(R = \{(x, y) : x \text{ and } y \text{
live in the same locality}\}\)
- \(R = \{(x, y) : x \text{ is exactly 7 cm
taller than } y\}\)
- \(R = \{(x, y) : x \text{ is wife of }
y\}\)
- \(R = \{(x, y) : x \text{ is father of } y\}\)
