R = {(a, b); a ≤ b}
Obviously, (a, a) ∈ R as a = a.
Hence, R is reflexive.
Now,
(1, 2) ∈ R (as 1 < 2)
But, (2, 1) ∉ R as 2 is greater than 1.
Hence, R is not symmetric.
Let (a, b), (b, c) ∈ R.
Then,
a ≤ b and b ≤ c
⇒ a ≤ c
⇒ (a, c) ∈ R
Hence, R is transitive.
Hence, R is reflexive and transitive but not symmetric.
