NOTE: This is a multi-part . Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part Determine whether the relation on the set of all people is reflexive, symmetric, antisymmetric, and/or transitive, where (a. b) E Rif and only if ind b have a common grandparent. (Check all that apply) reflexive symmetric transitive antisymmetric

Answer:A. This relation is Reflexive and SymmetricStep-by-step explanation:A. Before starting to test this relation, let´s remind the definition of these properties. Let R be a relation defined as R⊆A×A, where A is an arbitrary set:R is Reflexive ↔ (∀a ∈ A)((a,a) ∈ R)R is Symmetric ↔ (∀a,b ∈ A)("(a,b) ∈ R"⇒"(b,a) ∈ R")R is Anti-symmetric ↔ (∀a,b ∈ A)("(a,b) ∈ R"∧"(b,a) ∈ R" ⇒ a=b) R is Transitive ↔  (∀a,b,c ∈ A)("(a,b) ∈ R"∧"(b,c) ∈ R" ⇒ "(a,c) ∈ R") Where (a,b)∈R ↔ a is Related to bThe question defines R as follows: "a is Related to b" ↔ a and b have a common grandparent. We use the definition and some logic to prove whether R fulfill the definitions above or not:R is Reflexive: (we try to show that  (∀a ∈ A)("(a,a) ∈ R") where A is the set of people we work on)the elements are people, so we suppose that a has a grandparent. Because a has the same grandparent as a (they are the same person, so they have the same family) and it happens for all people you consider. We conclude that a is Related to a ((a,a) ∈ R), and because a was arbitrary we also shown that this happens to everyone (∀a ∈ A)("(a,a) ∈ R"). This proves that R is Reflexive.R is Symmetric: (Remember the definition above)Suppose (a,b) ∈ R, then, "a has a common grandparent with b" and because the grandparent that they share is fixed, it´s true that "b has a common grandparent with a" so we have (b,a) ∈ R. Because we are able to do this whenever we have (a,b) ∈ R we conclude  (∀(a,b) ∈ A)("(a,b) ∈ R"⇒"(b,a) ∈ R")  and that R is Symmetric.R is Anti-symmetric: (R does not satisfy this definition)It´s valid to give an example that does not fulfill the definition to prove definitely that R is not Anti-symmetric. Suppose a and b are brothers, because of this (a,b)∈R, and (b,a)∈R (because we proved that R is symmetric) but a≠b. Now we now that ("(a,b) ∈ R"∧"(b,a) ∈ R" ⇒ a=b) does not happen to every pair in R, so we conclude that R is not Anti-symmetric.R is transitive: (R does not satisfy this definition either)Suppose (a,b) ∈ R and (b,c) ∈ R, a and b have a grandparent in common, and the same happens with b and c. It´s not hard to think that, for example, a has the same grandfather as b but b has the same grandmother with c. We show that a could not necessarily be related to c. so (∀a,b,c ∈ A)("(a,b) ∈ R"∧"(b,c) ∈ R" ⇒ "(a,c) ∈ R") it´s not true, and R is not Transitive.
