Let $A$ be the set of all ordered pairs of integers, that is, $A=Z \times Z$. Define a binary relation $R$ on $A$ as follows: for all $(a, b),(c, d) \in A$,
$$
(a, b) R(c, d) \Leftrightarrow a \leq c \text { and } b \leq d .
$$

  1. Is $R$ reflexive?
  2. Is $R$ symmetric?
  3. Is $R$ antisymmetric?
  4. Is $R$ transitive?
  5. Is $R$ an equivalence relation, a partial order, neither, or both?

→ R is Reflexive.

                             Let’s take one example for reflexive(a,b)<=>(1,1) and (c,d)<=> (2,2).

->R is not Symmetric.

                                   Let’s take (1,2) as (a,b). for symm there is also contain (2,1) but,it’s not satisfy with                                     condition. 

                                       so,it’s not symmetric.

->R is Antisymmetric.

                                   if it’s not symmetric so definitely antisymmetric.

->R is Transitive.

                            we take (1,2) and (2,3) as (a,b) and (b,c) respectively so,for transitive it has to be (a,c) it means                               (1,3) .and it’s satisfy with the condition.

                                                                                             so,it’s transitive .

 

                               and R is reflexive,antisymmetric and transitive .

                                                                                                            So,R is also a partial order relation.

Consider the following binary relations on the naturals (non-negative integers). Which ones are reflexive? Symmetric? Anti-symmetric? Transitive? Partial orders? Justify your ... is true because eight comes no later than eight.)

Are the following relations reflexive, symmetric, transitive, antisymmetric? Explain.Let $R$ be a relation on $\mathbb{Z}$ such that $(a, b) \in R$ iff $b=a$ or ... $a+b$ is a rational number, that is can be represented by a fraction.
