detailed solution

Correct option is D

If a∈Z,aRa as3∣(2a+a)R is reflexive.Suppose a R b ⇒ 3∣(2a+b) ⇒ 3∣(3a+b−a) ⇒ 3|(b−a) ⇒3|(a−b) ⇒ 3|(3b+a−b)⇒3|(2b+a) ⇒ b~a. ⇒ Ris symmetric.Next, suppose a R b, b R c ⇒3|(2a+b),3|(2b+c)⇒3|(b−a),3|(c−b)⇒3∣(b−a+c−b)⇒3∣(c−a)⇒3∣(c−a+3a)⇒3∣(2a+c)∴aRcR is transitive. Hence, R is an equivalence relation
