Question -

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



Answer -

Let A be a set.
Then, Identity relation IA=IA is reflexive, since (a, a) тИИ A тИАa
The converse of it need not be necessarily true.

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