R={(x,y):xy+2 Is an irrational number ,x,yR}  As, xx+2=2 
Which an irrational number (x,x)R So, R is reflexive relation 
Since, (2,2) R i.e. 22+2=222

Which is an irrational number 
But 22+2=2 Which is a rational number (2,2)R 

So, R is not symmetric realtion
Also, (2,2)R and (2,22)R i.e. 22+2=222

Which is also an irrational number
But 222+2=0 Which is a rational number (2,22)R So, R is not transitive relation
Hence R is reflexive.
