Here's the Solution to this Question

Since for any x \in R\,\,x \ge x , then \forall x\,\,xRx and the relation is reflexive.

Let the conditions xRy and yRx then x \ge y and y \ge x . This is only possible if x=y . But then the condition \forall x,y\,\,\,xRy \Rightarrow yRx is not met. So, relation isn't symmetric.

Let xRy and yRz . Then x \ge y and y \ge z . But then x \ge z . So, \forall x,y,z\,\,xRy \wedge yRz \Rightarrow xRz and relation is transitive.

Answer: relation is reflexive, relation isn't symmetric, relation is transitive.
