The correct Answer is:
To determine the properties of the relation \( R \) defined on the set of integers \( I \) such that \( m R n \) if and only if \( m \leq n \), we will check for reflexivity, symmetry, transitivity, and anti-symmetry step by step. ### Step 1: Check for Reflexivity A relation \( R \) is reflexive if for every element \( m \in I \), it holds that \( m R m \). - For our relation, we need to check if \( m \leq m \) is true for all integers \( m \). - Since \( m \) is always equal to itself, \( m \leq m \) is true. **Conclusion**: The relation \( R \) is reflexive. ### Step 2: Check for Symmetry A relation \( R \) is symmetric if whenever \( m R n \), it implies \( n R m \). - Assume \( m R n \) holds, which means \( m \leq n \). - For symmetry, we need to check if \( n \leq m \) also holds. - If \( m < n \), then \( n \) cannot be less than or equal to \( m \), hence \( n R m \) does not hold. **Conclusion**: The relation \( R \) is not symmetric. ### Step 3: Check for Transitivity A relation \( R \) is transitive if whenever \( m R n \) and \( n R p \), it implies \( m R p \). - Assume \( m R n \) (i.e., \( m \leq n \)) and \( n R p \) (i.e., \( n \leq p \)). - From these inequalities, we can conclude that \( m \leq p \) by the transitive property of inequalities. **Conclusion**: The relation \( R \) is transitive. ### Step 4: Check for Anti-symmetry A relation \( R \) is anti-symmetric if whenever \( m R n \) and \( n R m \), it implies \( m = n \). - Assume \( m R n \) (i.e., \( m \leq n \)) and \( n R m \) (i.e., \( n \leq m \)). - The only way both inequalities can hold true is if \( m = n \). **Conclusion**: The relation \( R \) is anti-symmetric. ### Final Summary - **Reflexive**: Yes - **Symmetric**: No - **Transitive**: Yes - **Anti-symmetric**: Yes
