Both R1 and R2 are symmetric as For any (x,y)∈R1, we have (y,x)∈R1 and similarly for R2 Now, for R2,(b,a)∈R2,(a,c)∈R2 but (b,c)∈/R2. Similarly, for R1,(b,c)∈R1,(c,a)∈R1 but (b,a)∈/R1. Therefore, neither R1 nor R2 is transitive.
Consider the following two binary relations on the set A=a, b, c: R_1=( , a)(b, b),( a, c),(c, c),(b, c),(a, a) and R_2=( a, b),( b, a),( , ), (c,…
