Question
State True or False for the statements.
Every relation which is symmetric and transitive is also reflexive.

Answer

False.Solution:
Let R be a relation defined by,
R = {(1, 2), (2, 1), (1, 1), (2, 2)} on the set A = {1, 2, 3}
It is clear that $(3,3)\notin\text{R}.$ So, it is not reflexive.
