Abstract: If $G$ is a finite group and $xinG$ then the set of all elements of $G$ having the same order as $x$ is called {em an order subset of $G$ determined by $x$} (see [2]). We say that $G$ is a {em group with perfect order subsets} or briefly, $G$ is a {em $POS$-group} if the number of elements in each order subset of $G$ is a divisor of $|G|$. In this paper we prove that for any $ngeq4$, the symmetric group $S_n$ is not $POS$-group. This gives the positive answer to one of two questions rising from Conjecture 5.2 in [3].
