The number of watermelons in a truck are all weighed on a scale. The scale rounds the weight of every watermelon to the nearest pound. The number of pounds read off the scale for each watermelon is called its measured weight. The domain for each of the following relations below is the set of watermelons on the truck. For each relation, indicate whether the relation is: Reflexive, anti-reflexive, or neither Symmetric, anti-symmetric, or neither Transitive or not transitive Justify your answer. (a) Watermelon z is related to watermelon y if the measured weight of water- melon a is at least the measured weight of watermelon y. No two water- melons have the same measured weight. (b) Watermelon zr is related to watermelon y if the measured weight of water- melon r is at least the measured weight of watermelon y. All watermelons have exactly the same measured weight.

In each of the following parts, a relation is defined on the set of all human beings. Determine whether the relation is reflective, symmetric, or transitive. Justify your answers. xRy if and only if x lives within 400 miles of y. xRy if and only if x is the father of y. xRy if and only if x is a first cousin of y. xRy if and only if x and y were born in the same year. xRy if and only if x and y have the same mother. xRy if and only if x and y have the same hair colour.
