Let R1,R2,R3,R4R_1, R_2, R_3, R_4 be the relations defined on the set A={1,2,3}A=\{1,2,3\}. then

Match List-I with List-II

List-I (Relation)List-II (Type)
(A) R1={(1,1),(2,2),(3,3)}R_1=\{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3)\}(I) Only transitive
(B) R2={(1,2),(2,3),(1,3)}R_2=\{(1,2),(2,3),(1,3)\}(II) Equivalence relation
(C) R3={(1,2),(2,1),(1,1),(2,2)}R_3=\{(1,2),(2,1),(1,1),(2,2)\}(III) Reflexive and symmetric but not transitive
(D) R4={(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(2,3),(3,2),(1,2),(2,1)}R_4=\{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(2,3),(3,2),(1,2),(2,1)\}(IV) Symmetric and transitive but not reflexive

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

R1R_1 is the identity relation: reflexive, symmetric and transitive, so an equivalence relation.

R2R_2 has no symmetric pairs but is transitive, so only transitive.

R3R_3 misses (3,3)(3,3) so is not reflexive, but is symmetric and transitive.

R4R_4 is reflexive and symmetric, yet (1,2)(1,2) and (2,3)(2,3) are present without (1,3)(1,3), so not transitive.
