  1. Let X=\{a,b,c,d,e,f\}X={a,b,c,d,e,f} and SS be the relation on XX defined by S = \{ (a,a), (a,b), (a,c),S={(a,a),(a,b),(a,c), (a,d), (a,e), (a,f),(a,d),(a,e),(a,f), (b,b), (b,d), (b,e),(b,b),(b,d),(b,e), (b,f), (c,c), (c,d),(b,f),(c,c),(c,d), (c,e), (c,f), (d,d),(c,e),(c,f),(d,d), (d,e), (d,f), (e,e), (f,f) \}(d,e),(d,f),(e,e),(f,f)}. Is SS a partial order? If so, draw its Hasse diagram. If not, give an example showing why.

The problem statement is as follows:

2. Let \( X = \{a, b, c, d, e, f\} \) and \( S \) be the relation on \( X \) defined by

\[ 
S = \{ (a, a), (a, b), (a, c), (a, d), (a, e), (a, f), (b, b), (b, d), (b, e), (b, f), 
(c, c), (c, d), (c, e), (c, f), (d, d), (d, e), (d, f), (e, e), (f, f)\}. 
\]

Is \( S \) a partial order? If so, draw its Hasse diagram. If not, give an example showing why. 

---

This statement involves determining if the relation \( S \) on set \( X \) is a partial order and then possibly drawing its Hasse diagram. A partial order is a relation that is reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive. If it is not a partial order, an example should be provided to illustrate the failure of one of these properties.
