I have a question whether below sets of relationship are partial order?
a≤b, b≤c, c≤d
I wonder whether reflexivity is implied or not. What would you answer to above question, without any extra information?

Even if reflexivity was implied, transitivity is not true for that relation. Of course, transivity might also be implied, then you got a linear ordering of 4 elements.
Answering "no" would be the best idea, IMO, because without further info, it's best not to assume anything.
