xy is an integer

xx=0 is an integer  A is Reflexive

xy is an integer yx is an integer A is symmetric xy,yz are integers

As sum of two integers is an integer. 

(xy)+(yz)=xz is an integer

A is transitive. Hence statement 1 is true Also xx=1 is a rational number B is reflexive xx=α is rational  yx need not be rational i.e., 01 is rational 10 is not rational. Hence B is not symmetric B is not an equivalence relation.
