Exercise 17.2.17. (a) Give a counterexample that proves that the binary relation C in Fig- ure 17.2.3 is not transitive. (*Hint*) (b) Explain why the binary relation R = {(1,4), (1, 1), (4,1)} is not transitive. (*Hint*) (c) Explain why the binary relation is transitive. (*Hint*) R= {(1,2), (1,3), (1,4)}

Question
Please do Exercise 17.2.17 part A,B, and C and please show step by step and explain
Hint for A: There are actually three counterexamples, you only need to find one.
Hint for B: Give a specific example where a ∼ b and b ∼ c but a (/∼) c. In other words, (a, b) and (b, c) are elements of R∼, but (a, c) is not in R∼. It is not necessary for a, b, and c to be distinct.
Hint for C: Explain why it is impossible to find a counterexample.
