Concept:Checking if "greater than" (
>) over real numbers is reflexive, symmetric, or transitive.
Explanation:• Reflexive: For any real
a,
a>a is false. So not reflexive.
• Symmetric: If
a>b, then
b>a is false (e.g.,
5>3 but
3>5 is false). So not symmetric.
• Transitive: If
a>b and
b>c, then
a>c always holds for real numbers. So it is transitive.
• Equivalence relation requires all three properties; it fails reflexive and symmetric.
Answer:Transitive relation only.
