Q.

Let R and S be two relations on a set A. Consider the following statements: 

S1:R  and  S are transitive, then  RS is also transitive 
S2:R  and  S are transitive, then RS  is also transitive 
S3:R  and S are reflexive, then  RS is also reflexive 
S4:R  and  S are symmetric then RS  is also symmetric 
Then correct statements are:

Transitivity property usually not hold in unions. For example, consider the set A={1,2,3}  and R={(1,2)},S={(2,3)}.
Clearly  R and S  are transitive but  RS={(1,2),(2,3)} is not transitive, 
So (S1) is not true. 
For (S2) . Let  (a,b),(b,c)RS
                (a,b),(b,c)R and   (a,b),(b,c)S
                (a,c)R,(a,c)S                    (a,c)RS
               If  R,S are trans., then RS is also trans. 
So,  (S2) is true. 
For  (S3)R,S are reflexive, so 
 (a,a)R,(a,a)SaA
                aA,(a,a)RS  and  RS.
And so  RS and RS  both reflexive. 
Also for S4,R and  S are symmetric. 
            (a,b)RS     (a,b)R   or  (a,b)S 
             (b,a)R  or  (b,a)S(b,a)RS
           RS  is symmetric.
