[b]1.[/b] Some proper partitions $P_1, \dots , P_n$ of a finite set $S$ (that is, partitions containing at least two parts) are called [i]independent[/i] if no matter how we choose one class from each partition, the intersection of the chosen classes is nonempty. Show that if the inequality
$\frac{\left | S \right | }{2} < \left |P_1 \right | \dots \left |P_n \right |\qquad \quad (*)$
holds for some independent partitions, then $P_1, \dots , P_n$ is maximal in the sense that there is no partition $P$ such that $P,P_1, \dots , P_n$ are independent. On the other hand, show that inequality $(*)$ is not necessary for this maximality. ([b]C.20[/b])
