About this MCQ

This Hard Discrete Mathematics MCQ checks one syllabus fact.

The question is: “What is the function or purpose of Partial order relation?”

The accepted answer is B. A relation that is reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive, used to describe orderings that are not necessarily total.. A relation that is reflexive antisymmetric and transitive used to describe orderings that are not necessarily total is the fact required by What is the function or purpose of Partial order relation option B Option A A symbol or word such as AND OR or NOT used to combine or modify propositions in logic does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A relation that is reflexive antisymmetric and transitive used to describe orderings that are not necessarily total Option C The number of edges connected to a given vertex in a graph does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A relation that is reflexive.

A. A symbol or word, such as AND, OR, or NOT, used to combine or modify propositions in logic.
Why not A: “A symbol or word, such as AND, OR, or NOT, used to combine or modify propositions in logic.” is not correct. The accepted answer is B. A relation that is reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive, used to describe orderings that are not necessarily total.. A relation that is reflexive antisymmetric and transitive used to describe orderings that are not necessarily total is the fact required by What is the function or purpose of Parti
B. A relation that is reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive, used to describe orderings that are not necessarily total. ✓
C. The number of edges connected to a given vertex in a graph.
Why not C: “The number of edges connected to a given vertex in a graph.” is not correct. The accepted answer is B. A relation that is reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive, used to describe orderings that are not necessarily total.. A relation that is reflexive antisymmetric and transitive used to describe orderings that are not necessarily total is the fact required by What is the function or purpose of Parti
D. A set operation that combines all elements from two or more sets into a single set without duplication.
Why not D: “A set operation that combines all elements from two or more sets into a single set without duplication.” is not correct. The accepted answer is B. A relation that is reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive, used to describe orderings that are not necessarily total..

Correct answer

B. A relation that is reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive, used to describe orderings that are not necessarily total.

Explanation

A relation that is reflexive antisymmetric and transitive used to describe orderings that are not necessarily total is the fact required by What is the function or purpose of Partial order relation option B Option A A symbol or word such as AND OR or NOT used to combine or modify propositions in logic does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A relation that is reflexive antisymmetric and transitive used to describe orderings that are not necessarily total Option C The number of edges connected to a given vertex in a graph does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A relation that is reflexive.
