Let the set A 0123 and let Y be a relation defined on A suc
Let the set A = {0,1,2,3} and let Y be a relation defined on A such that Y = {(0,0), (0,1), (0,2), (1,2)} Is Y transitive ?
Solution
Yes.
For the relation Y to be transitive we need that:
xRy and yRz then xRz
There is only one case in given relation where:
xRy and yRz ie for (0,1) and (1,2)
ie 0R1 and 1R2 so we must have 0R2 which is true as: (0,2) is in Y
Note that aRb is represented here as: (a,b)
