Expert Answer
R = {(x, y): x is the wife of y}
Now,
(x, x) R
Since x cannot be the wife of herself.
R is not reflexive.
Now,
(x, x) R
Since x cannot be the wife of herself.
R is not reflexive.
Now, let (x, y) R
x is the wife of y.
Clearly y is not the wife of x.
(y, x) R
If x is the wife of y, then y is the husband of x.
R is not transitive.
Let (x, y), (y, z) R
? x is the wife of y and y is the wife of z.
This case is not possible. Also, this does not imply that x is the wife of z.
(x, z) R
R is not transitive.
? x is the wife of y and y is the wife of z.
This case is not possible. Also, this does not imply that x is the wife of z.
(x, z) R
R is not transitive.
Hence, R is neither reflexive, nor symmetric, nor transitive.
