Solution

We observe the following relations of relation R.

Reflexivity : 

Let a be an arbitrary element of R. Then,

aa=0=0 × 3

⇒ aa is divisible by 3

⇒ (a, a∈ R for all ∈ Z

So, R is reflexive on Z.

Symmetry :

Let (a, b∈ R

⇒ ab is divisible by 3

⇒ ab 3p for some ∈ Z

⇒ b=3 (p)

Here, ∈ Z

⇒ ba is divisible by 3

⇒ (b, a∈ R for all a, ∈ Z

So, R is symmetric on Z.

Transitivity:

Let (a, b) and (b, c∈ R

⇒ ab and bc are divisible by 3

⇒ ab=3p for some ∈ Z

and b− 3q for some ∈ Z

Adding the above two, we get

  − b b− c3p3q

⇒ a=3 (p+q)

Here, p+∈ Z

⇒ ac is divisible by 3

⇒ (a, c∈ R for all a, c ∈ Z

So, R is transitive on Z.

Hence, R is an equivalence relation on Z.
