  3. C an equivalence relation Correct answer
  4. D symmetric and transitive but not reflexive

Solution

<p>$R=\{(x, y): x, y \in z$ and $x+y$ is even $\}$</p> <p>reflexive $x+x=2 x$ even</p> <p>symmetric of $x+y$ is even, then $(y+x)$ is also even</p> <p>transitive of $\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}$ is even $\& \mathrm{y}+\mathrm{z}$ is even then $x+z$ is also even</p> <p>So, relation is an equivalence relation.</p>
