Detailed Solution

Clearly z1 R z1  as z1z1z1+z1=0 is real number. Hence, R is reflexive.

 Also, R is symmetric as if z1z2z1+z2 is a real number then z2z1z1+z2 is also a real number

z1=x1+iy1and z2=x2+iy2 then z1 R z2 iff x1x2+iy1y2x1+x2+iy1+y2 is a real number

x1x2+iy1y2x1+x2iy1+y2x1+x22+y1+y22 is a real number

y1y2x1+x2x1x2y1+y2=0x1/y1=x2/y3

Similarly for z2=x2+iy2 and z3=x3+iy3 then z2Rz3 iff x2/y2=x3/y3

If z1Rz2 and z2Rz3 then  x1/y1=x2/y2=x3/y3

x1y1=x3y3z1Rz3 So, R is transitive

Hence, R is an equivalence relation.
