Options
- Aan equivalence relation
- Breflexive and symmetric

- Donlyreflexive
Correct answer
C. reflexive and transitive
Step-by-step solution
(3,3),(6,6),(9,9),(12,12), R . R isnot symmetricas (6,12) R but (12,6) RR is transitive as the only pair which needs verification is (3,6) and (6,12) R . (3,12) R
