Question
Reflexive and symmetric but not transitive.

Answer

“is friend of” R = {( x, y) : x is a friend of y}
It is clear that x is friend of x. $\therefore$ R is reflexive.
Also x is friend of y and y is friend of x. $\therefore$ R is symmetric.
Also if x is friend of y and y is friend of z then    
x cannot be friend of z. $\therefore$ R is not transitive.
Therefore, R is reflexive and symmetric but not transitive.
