Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given relation R = {(1, 3), (2, 1), (3, 2)}, discuss whether R is asymmetric, providing justification.

💡 Hint: Examine all possible pairs within the relation.

Challenge 2 Hard

Construct a larger asymmetric relation from set A = {1, 2, 3, 4} with five different ordered pairs and verify if it holds the properties of asymmetry.

💡 Hint: Check each combination to ensure none violate the asymmetric rules.
