Detailed Solution
We have (a,b)R(a,b) for all (a,b)∈N×N As a+b=b+a . Hence, R is reflexive R is symmetric as we have (a,b)R(c,d)⇒ a+d=b+c⇒ d+a=c+b⇒ c+b=d+a⇒ c+b=d+a⇒ (c,d)R(a,b) Now, let (a,b)R(c,d) and (c,d)R(e,f) Then, by definition of R , we have a+d=b+c and c+f=d+eHence by addition, we get a+d+c+f=b+c+d+e or a+f=b+e Thus, (a,b)R(c,d) and (c,d)R(e,f)⇒(a,b)R(e,f)Therefore, R is transitive.
