It is given that
R = {(a, b): a > b}
Reflexive-
If a ∈ R we get (a > b)
So (a, b) ∉ R for a ∉ R
Hence, R is not reflexive.
Symmetric-
We know that
(3, 4) ∈ R but (4, 3) ∉ R
Hence, R is not symmetric.
Transitive-
Consider (a, b) ∈ R and (b, c) ∈ R
It can be written as
a > b and b > c
So we get
a > c where (a, c) ∈ R
Hence, R is transitive.
Therefore, R is transitive but neither reflexive nor symmetric.
