Does there exist a homomorphism?
Examine if there exists a homomorphism $\phi:\mathcal{S}_3 \rightarrow \mathcal{S}_5$ that is neither the trivial nor the identity where $\mathcal{S}_3 , \;\mathcal{S}_5$ are the $3$-permutation group and $5$- permutation group, respectively.
Do the same question for $\phi:\mathcal{S}_5 \rightarrow \mathcal{S}_3$.
Do the same question for $\phi:\mathcal{S}_5 \rightarrow \mathcal{S}_3$.
Imagination is much more important than knowledge.

Re: Does there exist a homomorphism?
Of course there is. For example take $\varphi(\pi) = (1\,2)(3)(4)(5)$ if $\pi$ is an odd permutation and $\varphi(\pi) = (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)$ if $\pi$ is an even permutation.
Similar example works for the other question.
