A relation R on a set A is called a partial order relation if it is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
Adi S.
Let $\mathrm{R}$ be the relation over the set $\mathrm{N} \times \mathrm{N}$ and is defined by $(a, b) R(c, d) \Leftrightarrow a+d=b+c$ Then $R$ is (a) Reflexive only (b) Symmetric only (c) Transitive only (d) An equivalence relation
Let $\mathrm{R}$ be the relation in the set $\{1,2,3,4\}$ given by $\mathrm{R}=\{(1,2),(2,2),(1,1),(4,4)$, $(1,3),(3,3),(3,2)\}$. Choose the correct answer. (A) $\mathrm{R}$ is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive. (B) $\mathrm{R}$ is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric. (C) $\mathrm{R}$ is symmetric and transitive but not reflexive. (D) $\mathrm{R}$ is an equivalence relation.
