Amazing explanation. Been cracking my head trying to understand transitivity and you have explained it concisely with excellent examples. Thank you SIR!

[chanangus]

Thank you. my teacher spent two hours to discuss this topic, and I still don't understand what he is talking. However, I spent 10 mins on this video, I understand the logic of transitive relation clearly.

[osietnelson]

Magnificent, you made it so easy . Thanks I had been really struggling with other youtubers who was were just confusing me even more

[jingyiwang]

Thank you so much for your amazing explanation about different knowledge points in discrete mathematics! I will take my first discrete mathematics exam tomorrow.😀

[noahvriese]

Extremely thorough explanation, thank you very much sir!

SIR I'm from 2023, Your video still helps struggling students in discrete maths until this day

[hamdansiddiqui]

Excellent way of explaining the process

[safeegull]

At last I found what I was searching for

[rajendramisir]

Sir, excellent explanation. Useful examples to highlight transitive relations. Thank you. When testing for transitivity, if the pair of elements is the same then this pair can be paired with itself in the test. For example, if (2, 2) is a member of R then it can be paired with itself.

[patiencebright]

You are awesome! You are an amazing teacher! Thank you!

[t.k.gowtham]

Amazing Explanation. All the best, sir.

The relation must be defined before it can be declared transitive. In the first example consider the relation between the two numbers in each ordered pair to be "is the brother of...". That relation is transitive. But consider the relation "shook the hand of ...". That relation is not transitive. So, even though the ordered pairs (2, 4) and (4, 7) are connected by the 4, we can't tell if the relation is transitive until we know the nature of the relation we are working with. E.g. are they shaking hands, are they brothers, or what?

Sir please also make a video on co-reflexive and quasi-reflexive relations

[siddhanthmirpuri]

HI Thank you so much for this explanation. I have been going through all your videos for my assignments. I have a mock test question though as follows - could you help me? thank you in advance.

Let A be the set of members in a family and let R be a relation defined on A as if “ is a child of ”. Explain if R is:
(i) Reflexive
(ii) Symmetric
(iii) Transitive
