Question
Let R be a relation from N to N defined by $\text{R}=\{(\text{a, b}):\text{a, b}\in\text{N and a}=\text{b}^2\}.$ Are the following statement true?
$(\text{a, b})\in\text{R and (b, c)}\in\text{R}\Rightarrow \text{(a, c)}\in\text{R}$

Answer

We have,
$\text{R}=\{(\text{a, b}):\text{a, b}\in\text{N and a}=\text{b}^2\}$
This statement is not true because $(36,6)\notin\text{R and (25, 5)}\in\text{R}\text{ but }(36,5)\notin\text{R}$
