Expert Solution
Step 1

As for relation to be reflexive 

(i) for >

let a belongs to Real number

then it implies that a>a (so that it can be reflexive)

But a number cannot be greater than itself.

Therefore > is not reflexive 

(ii) for ~

let a belongs to Real number

then it implies that a~a (so that it can be reflexive)

which is true as any number is similar to itself.

Therefore ~ is refllexive
