Here's the Solution to this Question

Let us show that inclusion relation  is a partial ordering on the power set of a set S.

Since A\subseteq A for any subset A\subseteq S, we conclude that this relation is reflexive.

Taking into account that A\subseteq B and B\subseteq A imply A=B, we conclude that the relation is antisymmetric. Since A\subseteq B and B\subseteq C imply A\subseteq C , it follows that this relation is transitive.

Consequently, the inclusion relation is a partial ordering on the power set of a set S.


Let us draw the Hasse diagram for the partial ordering \{(A,B) | A ⊆ B\} on the power set P(S) where S = \{a,b,c\}.
