Please solve RD Sharma maths Class 12 Chapter Relations Exercise 1.1 Question 1 Sub question (i) maths text book solution.
Answer : Reflexive, symmetric, transitive.
Hint :
If is reflexive
If is symmetric
If is transitive
Given :
Solution : A relation on set A is said to be reflexive if every element of A is related to itself.
Thus, is reflexive
A relation on set A is said to be symmetric relation if for all
i.e.
A relation on set A is said to be transitive relation
If
i.e and for all
Now, let's get back to the actual problem
For Reflexive :
and work at same place
Similarly, and work at the same place.
So, is reflexive.
For Symmetric :
It is given that and work at the same place.
So, we can say that and work at the same place.
So, is symmetric.
For Transitive:
Let be a person such that and work at the same place.
And we know that and work at the same place.
So, we can say that and work at the same place.
So, is Transitive.
