उत्तर

No, it is not true.

Consider a set A = {1, 2, 3, 4} and define a relation R on A.

Symmetric relation: 

R = {(1, 2), (2, 1)} is symmetric on set A.

Transitive relation: 

R = {(1, 2), (2, 1), (1, 1)} is the simplest transitive relation on set A.

R = {(1, 2), (2, 1), (1, 1)} is symmetric as well as transitive relation.

But R is not reflexive here.

If only (2, 2) ∈ R, had it been reflexive.

Thus, it is not true that every relation which is symmetric and transitive is also reflexive.
