7. Suppose H and K are subgroups of a group G such that o(H) = 12 and o(K) = 35.
Find o(H ∩ K). Generalize.
(i) U8 is cyclic.
(ii) (Q, +) is cyclic.
(iii) If every proper subgroup of a group is cyclic, then G is a cyclic group.
12. Let G be an abelian group of order pq with (p, q) = 1. Suppose that there exist a, b ∈ G
such that o(a) = p, o(b) = q. Show that G is cyclic.
13. Let G be a cyclic group of order 6 generated by a. Let H = ha2 i and K = ha3 i. Show
that G = HK.
