Let us take an example:
Let R = {a, b, c}
and the relation A is defined as
A = {(a, a), (a, b), (a, c), (b, a), (b, b), (b, c), (c, a), (c, b), (c, c)}
1. Reflexive:
Since, (a, a), (b, b), (c, c) ∈ A
So, A is reflexive on R
2. Symmetry:
Since, (a, b) ∈ A and (b, a) ∈ A
and (a, c) ∈ A and (c, a) ∈ A
So, A is symmetry on R
3. Transitive:
Since, (a, b), (b, c) ∈ A => (a, c) ∈ A
and (a, c), (c, a) ∈ A => (a, a) ∈ A
So, A is tranisitive on R
Hence, A is an equiavlence relation on R
Now, Domain (A) = {a, b, c}
and Range(A) = {a, b, c}
Now, Domain(A) = Range(A) = {a, b, c} = A
Hence, if A is an equivalence relation on R then Domain(A) = Range(A) = R
