Every question in the paper gets a full exam-length answer in the app — organised by marks, the way a topper writes it.
State Lagrange's theorem and give an example in support of it.
Lagrange's theorem states that the order of a subgroup divides the order of the group; for example, in \( S_3 \), the subgroup of order 2 divides the group of order 6.

Is every group of prime order cyclic? If it is, then give an example in the support of it.
Yes, every group of prime order is cyclic; for example, the group of order 5 is cyclic and can be generated by any of its non-identity elements.

Show that the group ??????={1,?????? ??????2}, (?????? is the cube root of unity) is a cyclic, how many generators are there.
The group of cube roots of unity is cyclic, and it has two generators.

Define a cyclic group and give two examples.
A cyclic group is generated by a single element; examples include \( \mathbb{Z} \) under addition and \( \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z} \).

Define the quaternion group Q₈. Write its elements, show that it is non-abelian.
The quaternion group Q₈ consists of {1, -1, i, -i, j, -j, k, -k} and is non-abelian because the multiplication is not commutative.

Prove that if ?????? is a generator of a cyclic group ?????? then ??????−1 is also a generator of G.
If \( g \) is a generator of a cyclic group, then \( g^{-1} \) generates the group as it produces all elements in reverse order.

Define a ring and explain its different types with suitable examples.
A ring is a set with two operations; types include commutative rings, like integers, and non-commutative rings, like matrices.

Show that the set ??????={1,??????,??????2} of cube roots of unity forms an abelian group under multiplication of complex numbers.
The set of cube roots of unity forms an abelian group as it satisfies closure, associativity, identity, and inverses.

Define left coset and right coset of a subgroup H in a group G.
A left coset is a set of the form {g*h | h ∈ H} and a right coset is {h*g | h ∈ H} for some g in G.

Prove that every cyclic subgroup is an abelian group.
Every cyclic subgroup is abelian because all elements can be expressed as powers of a single generator.

Define a ring with one suitable example.
A ring is a set with two operations; for example, the set of integers with standard addition and multiplication is a ring.

Show that every subgroup of an abelian group is normal subgroup.
In an abelian group, every subgroup is normal because the group operation is commutative.

Define a binary operation.
A binary operation is a calculation that combines two elements to produce another element.

Define identity element.
An identity element is an element that, when combined with any element of the set, leaves that element unchanged.
