Solution

Consider the non-empty set consisting of children in a family and a relation R defined as aRb if a is brother of b. Then R is transitive but not symmetric.

Explanation:

aRb ⇒ a is brother of b.

This does not mean b is also a brother of a as b can be a sister of a.

Thus, R is not symmetric.

aRb ⇒ a is brother of b.

and bRc ⇒ b is brother of c.

So, a is brother of c.

Therefore, R is transitive.
