The correct answer is: $R$ is neither reflexive nor transitive
Since, $3 \in \mathbf{A}$
but $(3,3) \notin \mathrm{R}$
So, it is notreflexive. and $(3,4) \in \mathrm{R}$ and $(4,3) \in \mathrm{R}$
but $(3,3) \notin \mathrm{R}$
So, it is also not transitive. Hence, $R$ is neither reflexive nor transitive.
