R2 on Z defined by (a, b) ∈ R2 ⇔ |a – b| ≤ 5

Sum

Solution

Reflexivity:-

Let a be an arbitrary element of R2. Then,

a ∈ R2

⇒ | a−a | = 0 ≤ 5

So, R1 is reflexive.

Symmetry:-

Let (a, b)  ∈ R2

⇒ |a−b| ≤ 5                    [ Since, |a−b| = |b−a| ]

⇒ |b−a| ≤ 5

⇒ (b, a) ∈ R2

So, R2 is symmetric.

Transitivity:-

Let (1, 3) ∈ R2 and (3, 7) ∈R2

⇒|1−3|≤5 and |3−7|≤5

But |1−7| ≰5 

⇒ (1,7) ∉ R2

So, R2 is not transitive.
