    Solution:

    we have,R={(x,y);x24xy+3y2=0,x,yN

    Let xN,x24xx+3x2=0

     (x,x)R

    R is reflexive

    we have,

     (3)24(3)(1)+3(1)2=912+3=0 (3,1)R

    Also,(1)24(1)(3)+3(3)2=112+27=160

    (3)24(3)(1)+3(1)2=0

    now, (9,1)Rif(9)24(9)(1)+3(1)2=0

    i.e 480

    which is not so (9,3),(3,1)Rand(9,1)R

    R is not transitive.
