Determine which of the three properties (reflexive, symmetric, and transitive) apply to each relation.

(a) Let R be the relation on N given by xRy iff x divides y.


(b) Let X be a set and let R be the relation "⊆" defined on subsets of X


(c) Let S be the set of people in the school. Define R on S by xRy iff  "x likes y."


(d) Let R be the relation {(l, 1), (1,2), (2,2), (1,3), (3,3)} on the set {1,2,3}.


(e) Let R be the relation on  given by xRy iff xy is rational.


(f) Let R be the relation on  given by xRy iff xy is irrational.


(g) Let R be the relation on  given by xRy iff (xy )2<0.


(h) Let R be the relation on  given by xRy iff |xy|≤ 2.
