State True or False for the statements

An integer m is said to be related to another integer n if m is a integral multiple of n. This relation in Z is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.

False

Let R be the relation defined on Z by mRn if m is a integral multiple of n.


Let mRm R


m is a integral multiple of m.


Which is true since m is integral multiple of itself.


Thus, R is reflexive.


Let mRn R


m is a integral multiple of n


m= zn z Z



Since,


n is not integral multiple of m.


nRm R


Thus, R is not symmetric.


Let mRn R and nRp R


m is a integral multiple of n and n is a integral multiple of p


m is a integral multiple of p


mRp R


Thus, R is transitive.


Hence, the given statement is false.
