Answer all questions (each question carries 5 marks).

1. a. Let, 𝐺 be a group and 𝐻 be a subgroup of 𝐺. Prove that if 𝑏𝜖𝑎𝐻, then
𝑎𝐻 = 𝑏𝐻.
b. Examine if the system (ℝ, 𝑜) is a group where 𝑎𝑜𝑏 = 2(𝑎 + 𝑏), 𝑎, 𝑏 ∈ ℝ. 2+3
2. Let, 𝑉 be a real vector space with a basis {𝛼1 , 𝛼2 , … , 𝛼𝑛 }. Examine if
{𝛼1 , 𝛼1 + 𝛼2 , 𝛼2 + 𝛼3 … , 𝛼𝑛−1 + 𝛼𝑛 } is also a basis of 𝑉. 5
3. Check whether the set of all rotational and reflectional symmetries of a rhombus forms
a group or not. If yes, then check whether it is cyclic or not. 5
4. a. Define Permutation group.
b. Prove that the set of all symmetries of an equilateral triangle forms a group. 1+4

5. Find all eigen values and corresponding eigen vectors for the matrix 𝐴, where

2 −3 0
𝐴 = (2 −5 0) 5
0 0 3
