उत्तर

(i) Reflexivity:

(x, x) ∈ R because x and x live in the same locality.

∴ R is reflexive.

(ii) Symmetry:

Let (x, y) ∈ R

⇒ x and y live in the same locality.

⇒ y and x also live in the same locality.

⇒ (y, x) ∈ R 

Thus, R is symmetric.

(iii) Transitivity:

Let (x, y) ∈ R and (y, z) ∈ R

⇒ x and y live in the same locality and y and z live in the same locality.

⇒ x and z live in the same locality.

⇒ (x, z) ∈ R

Thus, R is transitive.

Hence, R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
