11. Suppose A = {a,b,c,d} and R = {(a, a),(b,b), (c,c), (d,d)}. Is R reflexive? Symmet- ric? Transitive? If a property does not hold, say why. 12. Prove that the relation | (divides) on the set Z is reflexive and transitive. (Use Example 16.8 as a guide if you are unsure of how to proceed.) 13. Consider the relation R = {(x, y) eRxR:x-ye Z} on R. Prove that this relation is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.

**Exercise 11:**
Suppose \( A = \{ a, b, c, d \} \) and \( R = \{ (a, a), (b, b), (c, c), (d, d) \} \).
- **Question:** Is \( R \) reflexive, symmetric, and transitive? If a property does not hold, provide a justification.
**Exercise 12:**
Prove that the relation \( | \) (divides) on the set \( \mathbb{Z} \) is reflexive and transitive.
- **Note:** Use Example 16.8 as a guide if you are unsure of how to proceed.
**Exercise 13:**
Consider the relation \( R = \{ (x, y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} : x - y \in \mathbb{Z} \} \) on \( \mathbb{R} \).
- **Question:** Prove that this relation is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
