1. Answer any FIVE questions: 5×2=10

(a) Prove that {1 ,−1, i ,−i } is a cyclic group.

(b) If in a ring R, a 2=a for all a ∈ R , then find char(R).

(c ) If (G , o) is an abelian group, then prove that ( aob )−1=a−1 o b−1.

(d) State Lagrange theorem on a subgroup.

(e) Find the generators of the cyclic group ¿.

(f) Prove that the ring S= {( )

a 0
0 b }
:a , b ∈Q contains divisor of zero.

(g) Give an example of a non-abelian group, which has an abelian subgroup.

(h) What do you mean by normal subgroup? Give an example of normal subgroup.
