6. A relation R on a set X is called a total order if it is antisymmetric, reflexive, transi- tive, and if all elements of X are comparable (that is, for every pair x₁, x2 € X either x₁ Rx2 or x2 Rx1). (a) Construct a total order on the set X = {a, B, Ⓒ, 13}. (b) How many possible total orders are there on a finite set of cardinality n?
