Laws of Binary Operation & Formation of Groups

Q1: Prepare the Cayley’s table for the followings: The set of four matrices under
multiplication of matrix
[ 10 01] ,[−10 01 ] ,[ 10 −10 ] , [−10 01]
Q2: Show that the set of all matrices of the form x x [x x]
where x is a non-zero real number, is a group of singular matrices for multiplication.

Q3: Prove that the operation * on the set Z of integers defined by a ∗ b = a + b + 1 ∀ a,

b∈
Z satisfies the closure property, the associativity and the commutativity. Find the
identity
element. What is the inverse of an integer a?

Q4: Show that the set G = {0, 1, 2, 3} is a finite abelian group of order four with
respect to addition
modulo 4.

Elementary Properties of Groups & Order of an Element of a Group

Q5: Determine the order of the group (G= {0,1,2,3} +4)

Cyclic Group
Q6: Show that the group, [{1, 2, 3, 4} ×5] is a cyclic group and also give an example
of group infinite and non- cyclic.

Permutation

Q7: Show that the set S3 of all permutations of degree 3, defined on three symbols a,
b, c is a
finite non-abelian group of order 6 with respect to composite composition.
Q8:

 Express the following permutations each defined on five symbols 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 as

the product
of disjoint cycles: h = (1 4 3 2) ∘ (2 4 1) ∘ (1 3 5).
 Express each of the following permutations, defined on five symbols 1, 2, 3, 4,
5 as the
product of transpositions: g = (1)
 Determine, which of the following permutations are even
(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
∘=2 5 4 3 6 1 7 9 8 )
