Hint:

A relation R on set A is

 Reflexive relation:

If (a, a) \in R for every a \in A

Symmetric relation:

If (a, b) is true then(b,a) is also true for every a, b \in A

Transitive relation:

If (a, b)and (b,a) \in R, then (a, c) \in R for every a, b \in A

Given:

Solution:

No, it is not necessary that a relation that is symmetric and transitive is reflexive as well.
