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
⇒ ….(1)
⇒ ….(2)
⇒ is the required inverse element of
.
