Here, relation R defined on the set R is given as

Reflexivity : Let a ∈ R (set of real numbers)

Now, (a,a) ∈ R as a - a + \(\sqrt{3}\) = \(\sqrt{3}\) ∈ S

i.e., R is reflexive ...(i)

Symmetric : Let a,b ∈ R (set of real numbers)

i.e., R is symmetric ...(ii)

Transitivity : Let a,b,c ∈ R

i.e., R is transitive. ...(iii)

(i),(ii) and (iii) ⇒ R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive
