Multiple Choice Questions (MCQS) & Answers On "Group Theory" (Unit I)

This document contains 5 multiple choice questions and answers about group theory. The questions cover topics such as: the set of real numbers under multiplication not being a group because zero has no inverse; a non-empty set being an algebraic structure with respect to a binary operation; an algebraic structure being called a semigroup if it satisfies the associative property; the fourth roots of unity being 1, -1, i, -i; and a monoid being called a group if it satisfies the property that multiplication is both commutative and has an identity element.

Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) & Answers on “Group Theory” (UNIT I)

1). The set of all real numbers under the usual multiplication operation is not a group since
A multiplication is not a binary operation
B multiplication is not associative
C identity element does not exist
D zero has no inverse
Answer: zero has no inverse

2) A non empty set A is termed as an algebraic structure ________


a) with respect to unary operation + (ordinary addition)
b) with respect to ternary operation + (ordinary addition)
c) with respect to binary operation *
d) with respect to unary operation – (ordinary subtraction)
Answer: c
Explanation: A non empty set A is called an algebraic structure w.r.t binary operation “*” if
(a*b) belongs to S for all (a*b) belongs to S. Therefore “*” is closure operation on ‘A’.

3). An algebraic structure ____ is called a semigroup if it satisfies


a) closure
b) inverse
c) associative
d) all the above
Answer: a
Explanation: An algebraic structure is called a semigroup if a*(b*c) = (a*b)*c for all a,b,c
belongs G or the elements follow associative property under “*”. (Matrix,*) and (Set of
integers,+) are examples of semigroup.

4). Fourth roots of unity are


a) a, b ,c, d
b) 0, 1, ,  , 
2

c) 1, -1, i, – i
d) None
Answer: c

5). A monoid is called a group if _______


a) (a*a)=a=(a+c)
b) (a*c)=(c+a)=e
c) (a+c)=a
d) (a*c)=(c*a)=e
Answer: d
