Question

Give an example of a relation which is,Symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive.

✓

Answer

Let A = {5, 6, 7}.
Define a relation R on A as R = {(5, 6), (6, 5)}.
Relation R is not reflexive as $(5, 5), (6, 6), (7, 7)\notin\text{R.}$ $$
Now, as $(5, 6)\in\text{R}$ and also $(6,5)\in\text{R,}$ R is symmetric.
$\Rightarrow(5, 6), (6, 5)\in\text{R,}\text{but}(5, 5)\notin\text{R}$ $$ $$ $$
Therefore, R is not transitive.
Hence, relation R is symmetric but not reflexive or transitive.
