Hi there in this question we're given that r is the relation on n where x is related to y if and only if x is equal to k y for some k belong to the set of all natural numbers.
00:10
So here we have to check whether this relation is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
00:15
So let's see how we'll do this.
00:20
So first we'll check whether the relation is reflexive for that.
00:24
First let's check what is reflexive relation.
00:26
A relation are on a set a is reflexive if a is related to a for all a belong to a.
00:33
So every element of a should be related to itself.
00:36
So for here we have a to be the set of all natural numbers actually.
00:41
So here we have n.
00:43
So let let x belong to n.
00:48
So we are taking an arbitrary element from the set of all natural numbers.
00:52
And now we are seeing whether it is related to itself.
00:55
So for that we can say we have x is equal to 1 multiplied by x.
01:03
So here for k equal to 1, we have the condition satisfied.
01:10
That is for k equal to 1, the condition is getting satisfied.
01:12
That is x is equal to k y for some n.
01:16
K belong to n.
01:17
Therefore, we have that this is x is related to x.
01:23
So since x was taken as arbitrarily, so r is reflexive.
01:28
So we can say that r is reflexive.
01:33
Now we'll see the definition of symmetric...
