    Assume R and S are (non-empty) relations in a set A. Which of the following relation given below is false

    A)  If R and S are transitive, then R \[\cup \] S is transitive.

    B)  If R and S are transitive, then R \[\cap \] S is transitive.

    C)  If R and S are symmetric, then R \[\cup \] S is symmetric.

    D)  If R and S are reflexive. Then R \[\cap \] S is reflexive.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Consider the example: Let A = {1,2,3}, R={(1,1),(1,2)} and S={(2,2),(2,3)} Clearly R and S are transitive relations on A. \[R\cup S=\{(1,1),(2,2),(1,2),(2,3)\}\] \[R\cup S\]is not transitive as (1,3) \[\notin R\cup S\]
