An integer `m`is said to berelated to another integer `n`if `m`is a multipleof `n`. Check ifthe relation is symmetric, reflexive and transitive. |
Answer» Here, `R = {(m,n):a,b in Z and m` is a multiple of `n}` For all `a in R`, `=> a` will be multiple of `a`. `:. (a,a) in R`.So, `R` is refexive. Since in `R` for every `(a,b) in R` `=> a` is a multiple of `b`.>But, it does not imply that `b` is a multiple of `a`. `:. (b,a) !in R`. `:. R` is not symmetric. Since `(a,b) in R and (b,c) in R` `=> a` is multiple of `b` and `b` is a multiple of `c`. Then, `a` will be multiple of `c`. `:. R` is transitive. |
