Let A= \{1, 2, 3\}

R = \{(1, 2), (2, 1)\}

We can see \left ( 1,1 \right ),\left ( 2,2 \right ),\left ( 3,3 \right )\notin R  so it is not reflexive.

As \left ( 1,2 \right )\in R \, and \, \left ( 2,1 \right )\in R so it is symmetric.

(1, 2) \in R \, and\, (2, 1)\in R

But  (1, 1)\notin R so it is not transitive.

Hence, R is symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive.
