Question
Symmetric and transitive but not reflexive.

Answer

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