Q3

Mr. X claims the following: If a relation R is both symmetric and transitive, then R is reflexive. For this, Mr. X offers the following proof: “From xRy, using symmetry we get yRx. Now because R is transitive xRy and yRx together imply xRx. Therefore, R is reflexive”.

Give an example of a relation R which is symmetric and transitive but not reflexive.
