Let WW denote the words in the English dictionary. Define the relation RR by: R={(x,y)∈W×W∣R=\{(x, y) \in W \times W \mid the words xx and yy have at least one letter in common }\}
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Reflexive, symmetric and not transitive
Option B (Reflexive, symmetric and not transitive) is correct because a word always shares a letter with itself (reflexive), if word x shares a letter with word y, then word y shares a letter with word x (symmetric), but it's possible for x to share a letter with y, and y to share a letter with z, without x and z sharing any letters (not transitive).
