We investigate the length
$$\ell (n,k)$$
of a shortest preset distinguishing sequence (PDS) in the worst case for a
$$k$$
-element subset of an
$$n$$
-state Mealy automaton. It was mentioned by Sokolovskii [
18
] that this problem is closely related to the problem of finding the maximal subsemigroup diameter
$$\ell (\mathbf {T}_n)$$
for the full transformation semigroup
$$\mathbf {T}_n$$
of an
$$n$$
-element set. We prove that
$$\ell (\mathbf {T}_n)=2^n\exp \{\sqrt{\frac{n}{2}\ln n}(1+ o(1))\}$$
as
$$n\rightarrow \infty $$
and, using approach of Sokolovskii, find the asymptotics of
$$\log _2 \ell (n,k)$$
as
$$n,k\rightarrow \infty $$
and
$$k/n\rightarrow a\in (0,1)$$
