Given an example of a relation. Which is symmetric and transitive but not reflexive.

Sum

Solution

Let A = {1, 2}.

Define a relation R on A as:

R = {(1, 1)}

R is symmetric, because if (1, 1) ∈ R, then (1, 1) ∈ R.

R is transitive, because (1, 1) and (1, 1) imply (1, 1) ∈ R.

R is not reflexive, because (2, 2) ∉ R.

Hence, R is symmetric and transitive but not reflexive.
