Time: 60 mints A) i) ii) iii) iv) v) A.Rehan Marks: 40 Each question carries two marks. If A= {1, 3, 5} & B= {2, 4}, find A B. Write down the power set of {a,b,c}. Does the set {-2,-1, 0, 1, 2} form a group with respect to addition? Justify your answer. Show that in any group, there cannot be more than one identity element. Does the set of all real numbers form a group under usual multiplication? Justify your answer. Each question carries three marks. Any ten.

B)

i) For the three sets A, B, C if A B= B C & A C =B C , then prove that B=C.[C denotes complement of C]. ii) If A={5,6,7,8,9}, B={2,4,6,8,10,12} & C={3,6,9,12} then verify that A-(B C)=(AB) (A-C). iii) = iv) v) vi) vii) viii) ix) x) xi) xii) Define a group. Show that a group (G, *) is commutative if and only if  G. Does the set of all 2 2 non-singular matrices over integers form a group under matrix multiplication? Justify your answer. Let (G,*) be a group with identity element e. if =e, a G. Show that G is commutative. Show that the cube root of unity forms a group under multiplication. Let a, b be fixed positive integers and H= {ax+by: x, y Z}. Show that (H, +) is a subgroup of (Z, +). In a group (G, 0), show that a 0 b=a 0 c implies b=c and    , a G. Show that the set of positive rational numbers form an abelian group for the binary composition * defined by a*b= , a . Show that the intersection of two subgroups of a group is again a subgroup of that group. Define cyclic group. Show that every cyclic group is commutative. Let H= { multiplication. a,b,c,d IR ; ad-bc=1}. Show that H forms a group under
