Hello candidate,

A transitive relation is is basically taken on a set of 3 numbers at least, issues that if a is related to b and b is related to C, then a has to be related to see in order to be it a transitive relation. But there were only two numbers are provided and so, we cannot neglect the fact that it can be transitive provided a third number is not available in the set.

In mathematics, we take several assumptions to to solve and calculate different theories and principles. One of the principal suggest that if you cannot prove a function wrong it has to be automatically taken as right for granted.

Hope that you understand it!!
