Question

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

Sum

Solution

Let A be a set. Then,

Identity relation IA=IA is reflexivesince (a, aAa

The converse of it need not be necessarily true.
Consider the set A = {1, 2, 3}

Here,
Relation = {(1, 1), (2, 2) , (3, 3), (2, 1), (1, 3)} is reflexive on A.
However, R is not an identity relation.
