Suppose R = { (b,c) } How can this relation be transitive? There are only two elements in it. Then how ? Share with your friends Share 1 Aarushi Mishra answered this Dear studentYes it is transitive. For transitive relation the definition saysif a,b∈R and b,c∈R then a,c∈RThe definition says if there exist a,b∈R and b,c∈R, so ifa,b∈R and b,c∈R doesnot exist, we cannot say that the relation is not transitive.Also we cannot find any counter example on this relation R=b,c which violates the definition of transitive relation.Hence it is taken to be transitive 0 View Full Answer
