Detailed Solution

We have (x,x)R for w = 1 implying that R is reflexive

For a0,(a,0)R for any w; but (0,a)R. Thus R is not symmetric

Hence R is not an equivalence relation 

As mn,mnS since mn = mn.

S is reflexive

mn,pqSqm=pnnp=mqpq,mnS

Thus S is symmetric

mn,pqS and pq,abSqm=pn and bp=aqmn=pq and pq=abmn=abmn,abS

Thus S is transitive
