How is a relation transitive when there is only one element in it ? Share with your friends Share 1 Aarushi Mishra answered this Dear studentYes it is transitive. For transitive relation the definition saysif a,b∈R and b,c∈R then a,c∈RThe definition says if there exist a,b∈R and b,c∈R, so ifa,b∈R and b,c∈R doesnot exist, we cannot say that the relation is not transitive.Also we cannot find any counter example on a relation R=a,b which violates the definition of transitive relation.Hence it is taken to be transitive. 1 View Full Answer
