Trichotomy Law

Trichotomy Law | Transitivity of Order Relation |

According to Trichotomy Law :-

When we have two Naturals Numbers a and b, then only one of the following possibilities can be true

1) a = b

2) a > b

3) a < b

e.g. In given two natural numbers 20 and 25, find which is a greater natural number.
We can very easily find that 25 > 20,
But lets try to get more clear understanding of this.

To elaborate Natural number 25 is obtained from 20 by adding 5 to it.

so 25 = 20 + 5

Thus, 25 > 20 and this means that natural number 25 can be obtained by adding 5 to 20.

Following points to remember:-

If a > b, then there can exist another natural number c,
which can balance the equation i.e
a = b + c

Now, by combing both the equations;
a > b &
a = b + c

This give us
a > b and
a > c
