Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:

Let * be a binary operation defined on Q+ by the rule for all a, b Q+. The inverse of 4 * 6 is


As


=8


For Identity element a * e = a = e * a , with ‘e’ being the identity element.


Given



e=3


For Inverse element a * b = e = b * a , with ‘b’ being the inverse element a=8 .


Given
