Take in 6(b). The symplectic quotient of the binary subset module has dimension four, so the action gives a group homomorphismIt is injective. If acts trivially on the quotient, every two-element subset has . Hence equals or its complement. The latter has size four, whereas has size two; therefore fixes every two-element subset. Given , choose distinct . It then fixes the intersection , so it fixes each point and is the identity.
Finally 6(a) givesAn injective group homomorphism between these finite groups of the same order is surjective. Thus
