Solution

(i) Reflexive:

Let a ∈ R, a ≤ a3, which is false.

∴ (a, a) ∉ R

Thus, R is not reflexive.

(ii) Symmetric:

Let a, b ∈ R, and (a, b) ∈ R

⇒ a ≤ b3

Does not imply b ≤ a3

∴ (b, a) ∉ R

Thus, R is not symmetric.

(iii) Transitive:

Let a, b, c ∈ R, consider (a, b) ∈ R and (b, c) ∈ R

⇒ a ≤ band b ≤ c3

⇒ a ≤ c3 is false.

⇒ (a, c) ∉ R

∴ R is not transitive.

Hence, R is neither reflexive, nor symmetric, nor transitive.
