Solution

The statement is incorrect. The relation R on the set of integers defined as xRy if and only if x<y is not a partial order relation.

A partial order relation must satisfy three properties: reflexivity (every element is related to itself), antisymmetry (if x is related to y and y is related to x, then x and y are identical), and transitivity (if x is related to y and y is related to z, then x is related to z).

The relation R defined as xRy if and only if x<y does not satisfy the reflexivity property because for an integer x, it is not true that x<x. Therefore, R is not a partial order relation.
