relation hold iff x!=y

1 :for reflexive: xRx  (x!=x) false ;

2: for symmetric xRy=yRx ( x!=y and y!=x )  true

3: for transitive lets : (x,y)=(1,2) (y,z) =(21) (x,z)=(11)

here xRy ,yRz hold but xRx doesn't (as 1=1 )

  • Can't be reflexive.

     
  • Symmetric, yes. Because if xRy then yRx.

     
  • Transitive? Let's see. if xRy and yRz then xRz. True.

    if xRy and yRx then xRx... So, not transitive as xRx doesn't belong to the "not equal to" relation.

Option A
