Let there be a natural number n,
We know that n divides n, which implies nRn.
So, Every natural number is related to itself in relation R.
Thus relation R is reflexive .
Let there be three natural numbers a,b,c and let aRb,bRc
aRb implies a divides b and bRc implies b divides c, which combinedly implies that a divides c i.e. aRc.
So, Relation R is also transitive .
Let there be two natural numbers a,b and let aRb,
aRb implies a divides b but it can't be assured that b necessarily divides a.
For ex, 2R4 as 2 divides 4 but 4 does not divide 2 .
Thus Relation R is not symmetric .
