Detailed Solution
We have, R={(a,b):a+b∈Z, a,b∈Z∪{2}. 2∴Z and 2+ 2 =22 ∉Z∴ (2,2) ∈ R∴ R is not reflexiveLet (a, b) ∈ R∴ a+b∈Z⇒ b+ a ∈Z⇒(b,a)∈R⇒R is symmetric.Let (a, b), (b, c)∈R ∴ a+b, b+c∈Z∴ None of a,b,c is equal to 2.∴ a,b,c∈Z ∴ a+c∈Z ⇒ ( a,c)∈R⇒ R is transitive ∴ . R is not an equivalence relation.
