<p>Does this satisfy completeness property? I need an intuitive explanation of this preference relation as well.</p>

<p>I am confused about the way how this relation is defined. The commodity Y in the first bundle is strictly preferred to the commodity Y in second bundle.</p>

What's the definition of the completeness property? Perhaps that could be a good start.

What happens if you compare $(1,6)$ against $(2,3)$, and $(1,6)$ against $(4,5)$, and $(2,3)$ against $(4,5)$?

A preference relation $\succ$ is defined as $(x_1,y_1)\succ (x_2,y_2)$ if $x_1>x_2$ and $y_1> y_2$

Completeness property says that for any $a,b\in R$ with $a=(x\_1,y\_1)$ and $b=(x\_2,y\_2)$ , $\:$ $a\succ b$ or $b\succ a$ or both must be satisfied. However for any $x\_1\le x\_2$ and $y\_2\le y\_1$ neither $a\succ b$ nor $b\succ a$ , thus the completeness property doesn't satisfied.
