Prove that the Poset has a unique least element

Prove that if (A, <) has a least element, then (A,≤)  has a unique least element.

Ans: Let (A, ≤) be a poset. Suppose the poset A has two least elements x and y. Since x is the least element, it implies that x ≤ y. Using the same argument, we can say that y ≤ x, since y is supposed to be another least element of the same poset. ≤ is an anti-symmetric relation, so x ≤ y and y ≤ x ⇒ x = y. Thus, there is at most one least element in any poset.
