Let $${R_1}$$ be a relation from $$A = \left\{ {1,3,5,7} \right\}$$ to $$B = \left\{ {2,4,6,8} \right\}$$ and $${R_2}$$ be another relation from $$B$$ to $$C$$ $$ = \left\{ {1,2,3,4} \right\}$$ as defined below:

i) An element $$x$$ in $$A$$ is related to an element $$y$$ in $$B$$ (under $${R_1}$$) if $$ x + y $$ is divisible by $$3$$.
ii) An element EExEE in $$B$$ is related to an elements $$y$$ in $$C$$ (under $${R_2}$$) if $$x + y$$ is even but not divisible by $$3$$.

Which is the composite relation $$R1R2$$ from $$A$$ to $$C$$?

$${R_1}\,{R_2}\, = \,\left\{ {\left( {1,2} \right),\,\left( {1,4} \right),\,\left( {3,3} \right),\,\left( {5,4} \right),\,\left( {7,3} \right)} \right\}$$

$${R_1}\,{R_2}\, = \,\left\{ {\left( {1,2} \right),\,\left( {1,3} \right),\,\left( {3,2} \right),\,\left( {5,2} \right),\,\left( {7,3} \right)} \right\}$$

$${R_1}\,{R_2}\, = \,\left\{ {\left( {1,2} \right),\,\left( {3,2} \right),\,\left( {3,4} \right),\,\left( {5,4} \right),\,\left( {7,2} \right)} \right\}$$

$${R_1}\,{R_2}\, = \,\left\{ {\left( {3,2} \right),\,\left( {3,4} \right),\,\left( {5,1} \right),\,\left( {5,3} \right),\,\left( {7,1} \right)} \right\}$$

Consider the following relations:
$${R_1}\,\,\left( {a,\,\,b} \right)\,\,\,iff\,\,\left( {a + b} \right)$$ is even over the set of integers
$${R_2}\,\,\left( {a,\,\,b} \right)\,\,\,iff\,\,\left( {a + b} \right)$$ is odd over the set of integers
$${R_3}\,\,\left( {a,\,\,b} \right)\,\,\,iff\,\,a.b > 0$$ over the set of non-zero rational numbers
$${R_4}\,\,\left( {a,\,\,b} \right)\,\,\,iff\,\,\left| {a - b} \right| \le 2$$ over the set of natural numbers
