Let denote all integers. Define a relation on as if where . Then is:

  1. A
    Reflexive but neither symmetric nor transitive
  2. B
    Reflexive, symmetric but not transitive
  3. C
    An equivalence relation
  4. D
    Symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. Reflexive: . Since for all integers, is reflexive.2. Symmetric: If . Since , then . is symmetric.3. Transitive: If and and .Counterexample: Let , , . (True) (True)But (False).So, is not transitive.Conclusion: Reflexive, symmetric but not transitive.
