Detailed Solution

Let a be any real number,
Then we can always write a≥a. that is, aSa .
Thus, relation S is reflexive relation over set R.
 Let a,b,c be three real numbers such that, aSb and bSc,
aSb implies a≥b and bSc implies b≥c.
So, we can definitely write, a≥c and thus aSc.
So, Relation S is transitive.
 Let a,b be any two real numbers such that aSb,
aSb implies a≥b,but we can't necessarily write b≥a
So, Relation S is not symmetric.
Reflexive, transitive but not symmetric.
