Prove that every identity relation on...

Prove that every identity relation on a set is reflexive, but the converse is not necessarily true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `A = {a,b,c}`
Let `I_A` is an identity relation of `A`.
Then, `I_A = {(a,a) , a in A}.`
So, identity relation will be reflexive.

Let `R` is a reflexive relation such that,
`R = {(a,a),(b,b),(c,c),(a,b),(b,c)}`
`R` contains `(a,b) and (b,c)` which are not elements of an identity relation.
