Question: If R is a relation on set A = {1, 2, 3} defined by R = {(1, 2), (2, 3)}, is R transitive?
Options:
Correct Answer: No
Solution:
A relation R is transitive if whenever (a, b) β R and (b, c) β R, then (a, c) must also be in R. Here, (1, 2) and (2, 3) are in R, but (1, 3) is not, so R is not transitive.
