Solution

Dear student
R=x,y:y=x+5 and x<4=1,6,2,7,3,8It is seen that 1,1RSo, R is not reflexive.1,6RBut, 6,1RSo, R is not symmteric.Now, since there is no pair in R such that x,y and y,z R then x,z cannot belong to R.So, R is not transitive.Hence R is neither reflexive nor symmteric nor transitive.
