- Let be a relation defined on the set of all integers by if and only if sum of and is odd. Decide whether or not is an equivalence relation. Justify your decision.arrow_forwardIn 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.arrow_forward
