Class 12 Maths · Relations And Functions · Long Answer #171

On A={1,2,3,4,5,6}, let aRb iff b=a+1. Check reflexivity, symmetry and transitivity.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: Neither reflexive, symmetric nor transitive.
  1. The relation contains (1,2),(2,3),(3,4),(4,5),(5,6).
  2. It is not reflexive because (1,1) is absent, and not symmetric because (1,2) occurs but (2,1) does not.
  3. It is not transitive because (1,2),(2,3) occur while (1,3) does not.
  4. Thus all three properties fail.

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] The relation contains (1,2),(2,3),(3,4),(4,5),(5,6).
  • [1 mark] It is not reflexive because (1,1) is absent, and not symmetric because (1,2) occurs but (2,1) does not.
  • [1 mark] It is not transitive because (1,2),(2,3) occur while (1,3) does not.
  • [0.5 marks] Thus all three properties fail.
