The set of complex number z with | z | = 1 under the operation * denote  by  z1 * z2 = | z1 | ·z2
  • a)
    group but not abelian
  • b)
    group but not cyclic
  • c)
    cyclic group
  • d)
    None of the above
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Pranavi Kapoor answered
The operation * on the set of complex numbers z with |z| = 1 is defined as follows:

For any two complex numbers z1 and z2 with |z1| = |z2| = 1, their operation * is given by:

z1 * z2 = |z1|

In other words, when two complex numbers z1 and z2 with magnitude 1 are multiplied under this operation *, the result is the magnitude of z1.

Note that the operation

 What is the maximum order of any element in A10
  • a)
    25
  • b)
    24
  • c)
    21
  • d)
    20
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Pranavi Kapoor answered
To find the maximum order of any element in A10, we need to understand what A10 represents. In mathematics, A10 refers to the alternating group of degree 10, denoted as A10. The alternating group consists of even permutations, which are permutations that can be written as a product of an even number of transpositions.

In this case, A10 represents the set of all even permutations of 10 o

Which one is true?
  • a)
    Every quotient group of a group is abelian and its converse is also true.
  • b)
    Every quotient group of a group is abelian but its converse is not true
  • c)
    Every quotient group of an abelian group is abelian and its converse is also true.
  • d)
    Every quotient group of an abelian group is abelian but the converse is not true.
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Riya Chawla answered
Explanation:

In order to understand the answer, we need to first define what a quotient group is and what it means for a group to be abelian.

Quotient Group:
Given a group G and a normal subgroup N of G, the quotient group G/N consists of the cosets of N in G with the group operation defined as (aN)(bN) = (ab)N, where aN and bN are cosets of N in G. In othe

If G is a group and H is a subgroup of index 2 in G then choose the correct statement.
  • a)
    H is a normal subgroup of G
  • b)
    H is not a normal subgroup of G
  • c)
    H is a subgroup of G
  • d)
    None of the above
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Aakriti Yadav answered
Explanation:

To understand why option A is the correct answer, we need to first understand the concept of a normal subgroup.

A subgroup H of a group G is said to be a normal subgroup if and only if for every element g in G, the conjugate of H by g is also a subset of H. In other words, for any h in H and g in G, the element ghg^(-1) is also in H.

Now, let's

Let F be a homomorphic mapping of a group G into a group G' Let (G) be the homomorphic image of G in G' then
  • a)
    F(G) is a complex of G'
  • b)
    F(G) = G'
  • c)
    F(G) is a subgroup of G'
  • d)
    F(G) is a normal subgroup of G
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?



Recall the definition of a homomorphic image. [The homomorphic image of a group G under a homomorphism F:G → G' is the set of all elements in G' that are the image of some element in G.] F(G) = {[F(g) | g ∈ G]}.

Use the definition of a homomorphic image to determine which statement is correct.

[F(G) is a subset of G' by definition.]
[F(G) is a subgroup of G' because [it is closed under the operation in G', contains the identity element of G', and contains the inverse of each of its elements].]
[F(G) may not be equal to G' unless F is surjective.]
[F(G) is not necessarily a normal subgroup of G because [it is a subgroup of G', not G].]
