Solution
Let A = {4, 6, 8}.
Define a relation R on A as:
A = {(4, 4), (6, 6), (8, 8), (4, 6), (6, 4), (6, 8), (8, 6)}
Relation R is reflexive since for every a ∈ A, (a, a) ∈R i.e., (4, 4), (6, 6), (8, 8)} ∈ R.
Relation R is symmetric since (a, b) ∈ R ⇒ (b, a) ∈ R for all a, b ∈ R.
Relation R is not transitive since (4, 6), (6, 8) ∈ R, but (4, 8) ∉ R.
Hence, relation R is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive.
