Here's the Solution to this Question

Let us define a relation R on A=\{a,b,c,d,e\}.


a) The relation R=\{(a,a),(b,b),(c,c),(d,d),(e,e),(a,b)\} is reflexive because of (x,x)\in R for each x\in A, but it is not symmetric because of (b,a)\notin R.


b) The relation R=\{(a,b),(b,a)\} is symmetric but not transitive because of (a,b)\in R and (b,a)\in R but (a,a)\notin R.


c) The relation R=\{(a,b),(b,a),(a,a),(b,b)\} is transitive because of (x,y),(y,z)\in R imply (x,z)\in R, but it is not reflexive becase of (c,c)\notin R.
