Detailed Solution
R={(a,b)∣a,b∈R and a−b+3 is an irrational number }, then R is reflexive since aRa=a−a+3=3 which is an irrational number 3R 1=3−1+3=23−1 which is an irrational number but 1 R3 =1−3+3=1 which is not irrational number ∴R is not symmetric AlsoR is not transitive ( ∵3R1 and 1R23 but 3R23 ⇒3−23+3=0 ) Hence, R is not an equivalence relation
