Given:

If A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, then the relation R = {(2, 3), (3, 4), (2, 4)} on A

Concept: 

IF A is a set and R be a relation defined on A then

R is Reflexive: a is related to a. ∀ a ∈ A
R is symmetric: if a is related to b, then b is related to a. ∀ a, b ∈ A
R is transitive: if a is related to b and b is related to c then a is related to c.  ∀ a, b, c ∈ A

Calculation:

If A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, then the relation R = {(2, 3), (3, 4), (2, 4)} on A

1. Reflexive :

Let 1 ∈ A but (1, 1) ∉ R .

Hence R is not Reflexive.

2. Symmetric :

Let 2, 3 ∈ A  and (2, 3) ∈ R but (3, 2) ∉ R

Hence R is not Symmetric.

3. Transitive :

Let 2 , 3, 4 ∈ A and

( 2, 3) and (3, 4) ∈ R then ( 2, 4 ) ∈ R

Hence R is transitive.

Hence R is transitive only.

Hence the option (1) is correct.
