D. None of these
6. A non empty set A is termed as an algebraic structure ________

c) with respect to binary operation +
d) with respect to unary operation –
7.Condition for monoid is __________
a) (a+e)=a
b) (a*e)=(a+e)
c) a=(a*(a+e)
d) (a*e)=(e*a)=a
Answer: d
Explanation: A Semigroup (S,*) is defined as a monoid if there exists an element e in S
such that (a*e) = (e*a) = a for all a in S. This element is called identity element of S w.r.t
*.
8. A monoid is called a group if _______
a) (a*a)=a=(a+c)
b) (a*c)=(a+c)
c) (a+c)=a
d) (a*c)=(c*a)=e
Answer: d
Explanation: A monoid(B,*) is called Group if to each element there exists an element c

such that (a*c)=(c*a)=e. Here e is called an identity element and c is defined as the
inverse of the corresponding element.
9. A group (M,*) is said to be abelian if ___________

a) (x+y)=(y+x)
b) (x*y)=(y*x)
c) (x+y)=x
d) (y*x)=(x+y)
Answer: b
Explanation: A group (M,*) is said to be abelian if (x*y) = (x*y) for all x, y belongs to M.
Thus Commutative property should hold in a group.
10. A cyclic group is always _________
a)abelian group
b) monoid
c) semigroup
d) subgroup
Answer: a
Explanation: A cyclic group is always an abelian group but every abelian group is not a
cyclic group. For instance, the rational numbers under addition is an abelian group but
is not a cyclic one.
11.{1, i, -i, -1} is __________
a) semigroup
b) subgroup
c) cyclic group
d) abelian group
Answer: c
Explanation: The set of complex numbers {1, i, -i, -1} under multiplication operation is a
cyclic group. Two generators i and -i will covers all the elements of this group. Hence, it
is a cyclic group.
13. Minimum subgroup of a group is called _____________
a) a commutative subgroup
b) a lattice
c) a trivial group
d) a monoid
14. __________ is not necessarily a property of a Group.
a) Commutativity

d) Associativity
Explanation: Grupoid has closure property; semigroup has closure and associative;
monoid has closure, associative and identity property; group has closure, associative,
identity and inverse; the abelian group has group property and commutative.

a) a subgroup of a group of integers
b) a subgroup of a group of real numbers

d) a subgroup of a group of complex numbers
Explanation: If we consider the abelian group as a group rational numbers under binary
operation + then it is an example of a subgroup of a group of real numbers.
16. The g17es under multiplication.
a) 2
b) 3
c) 1
d) 4
Explanation: The group of real matrices with determinant 1 is a subgroup of the group
of invertible real matrices, both equipped with matrix multiplication. It has to be shown
that the product of two matrices with determinant 1 is another matrix with determinant
1, but this is immediate from the multiplicative property of the determinant. This group
is usually denoted by(n, R).

nonzero complex elements
b) a subgroup rational numbers having magnitude 2 of the group of real
elements

nonzero complex elements
d) a subgroup complex numbers having magnitude 1 of the group of

whole numbers
Explanation: The set of complex numbers with magnitude 1 is a subgroup of the

nonzero complex numbers associated with multiplication. It is called the circle group as
its elements form the unit circle.
18. A trivial subgroup consists of ___________
a) Identity element

Explanation: Let G be a group under a binary operation * and a subset H of G is called a

subgroup of G if H forms a group under the operation *. The trivial subgroup of any
group is the subgroup consisting of only the Identity element.

d) commutative semigroup
24. The dihedral group having order 6 can have degree _____________
a) 3
b) 26
c) 326
d) 208
Explanation: A symmetric group on a set of three elements is said to be the group of all
permutations of a three-element set. It is a dihedral group of order six having degree
three.
25. Suppose (2, 5, 8, 4) and (3, 6) are the two permutation groups that
form cycles. What type of permutation is this?
a) odd
b) even
c) acyclic
d) prime
Explanation: There are four permutations (2, 5), (2, 8), (2, 4) and (3, 6) and so it is an
even permutation.
26. Euclid’s algorithm is used for finding ___________
a) GCD of two numbers
b) GCD of more than three numbers
c) LCM of two numbers
d) LCM of more than two numbers

Explanation: Euclid’s algorithm is basically used to find the GCD of two numbers. It
cannot be directly applied to three or more numbers at a time.
27. Who invented Euclid’s algorithm?
a) Sieve
b) Euclid
c) Euclid-Sieve
d) Gabriel lame
Explanation: Euclid invented Euclid’s algorithm. Sieve provided an algorithm for finding
prime numbers. Gabriel lame proved a theorem in Euclid’s algorithm.

a) 12
b) 6
c) 4
d) 2
29. Which of the following is not an application of Euclid’s algorithm?
a) Simplification of fractions
b) Performing divisions in modular arithmetic
c) Solving quadratic equations
