Question

Is it true that every relation which is symmetric and transitive is also reflexive? Give reasons.

✓

Answer

No, it is not necessary that a relation which is symmetric and transitive is reflexive as well.
For Example,
Let $A$ = {$a, b, c$} be a set and
$R_2$ = {($a, a$)} is a relation defined on A.
Clearly,
$R_2$ is symmetric and transitive but not reflexive.
