Reflexive Relation

In a reflexive relation, every element map to itself. For example, consider a set Now an example of reflexive relation will be . The reflexive relation is given by

Transitive Relation

For transitive relation, if , then . For a transitive relation, and

(i) ( Every set is a subset of itself. Reflexivity is true)

(ii) if and then

Antisymmetric property hold

(iii) hence . Transitivity hold.

All of the above properties the relation on hold true.
