Solution

 The relation on A having properties of being reflexive, transitive, but not symmetric is
R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (2, 1)}

Relation R satisfies reflexivity and transitivity.

⇒(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3) ∈ R 

and (1, 1), (2, 1) ∈ R ⇒(1, 1) ∈ R

However, (2, 1) ∈ R, but (1, 2) ∉ R
