Let A be the set of all binary strings of length 3. Let ≼be a relation on A such that for any s ∈A and t ∈A, s ≼t if and only if the positive integer with binary representation s is less than or equal to the positive integer with binary representation t. a) Determine if (A, ≼) is a partial order. b) If you determined that (A, ≼) is a partial order, then investigate if (A, ≼) is a total order. If you determined that (A, ≼) is not a partial order, then indicate the properties of a partial order that (A, ≼) lacks.

Question

:Let A be the set of all binary strings of length 3.
Let ≼be a relation on A such that for any s ∈A and t ∈A, s ≼t if
and only if the positive integer with binary representation s is less
than or equal to the positive integer with binary representation t.
a) Determine if (A, ≼) is a partial order.
b) If you determined that (A, ≼) is a partial order, then investigate if
(A, ≼) is a total order. If you determined that (A, ≼) is not a partial
order, then indicate the properties of a partial order that (A, ≼)
lacks.
