We know that for any a,bNab(b+a)=ba(a+b)

It implies that (a,b)R(a,b)

Therefore, the relation R is reflexive. 


Suppose that a,bRc,d

it implies that adb+c=bca+d

we have to show that c,dRa,b

This can be written as 

bca+d=adb+c

it is same as adb+c=bca+d

Therefore, the relation R is symmetric

 


Suppose that a,bRc,d and c,dRe,f

ad(b+c)=bc(a+d)  &cf(d+e)=de(c+f)

Simplifying the above two equations

we get afb+e=bea+f

Hence, a,bRe,f

Therefore, the relation R is transitive
