Five 2-mark short answer questions covering topics like properties of groups of specific orders, examples of groups, and proofs of subgroup properties. 2. Four 5-mark longer answer questions, including proofs about expressing permutations as products of cycles, properties of subgroup generation, and the relationship between finite subgroup cardinalities. 3. One 10-mark question with multiple parts, asking to prove properties of subgroups of rational numbers, apply Lagrange's theorem to Fermat's little theorem, and prove normality criteria and apply the first isomorphism theorem.

    1. Answer any five of the following questions: 2× 5=10

    2.
    b) Let ℝ denote the set of all negative real numbers. Can you define a binary operation ∗ on
    ℝ so that (ℝ ,∗) becomes a group? Justify your answer.
    c) Express the following permutation as a product of disjoint cycles in 𝑆 :
    𝟏 𝟐 𝟑 𝟒 𝟓 𝟔 𝟕 𝟖
    .
    𝟓 𝟕 𝟖 𝟔 𝟒 𝟏 𝟐 𝟑
    d) Prove that 𝑍(𝐺) = {𝑎 ∈ 𝐺|𝑎𝑔 = 𝑔𝑎 for all 𝑔 ∈ 𝐺} is a subgroup of the group 𝐺.

    disjoint cycles, where each cycle is of length ≥ 2.
    b) Let 𝑆 be a non-empty subset of a group 𝐺. Let < 𝑆 > denote the subgroup generated by 𝑆

    < 𝑆 >= {𝑠 𝑠 … 𝑠 | 𝑠 ∈ 𝑆, 𝑒 = ±1, 𝑖 = 1,2, … , 𝑛; 𝑛 ∈ ℕ}.
    c) Define the normalizer of a subset of a group 𝐺. Show that it becomes a subgroup of 𝐺. If 𝐻

    circle with center (0,0) and radius 1. 3+2+3+2
    b) (i) Give an example (with reason) of a non-cyclic, non-commutative group of which each
    subgroup is cyclic.
    (ii) If H is the only subgroup of order 𝑚 in a group 𝐺, then prove that 𝐻 is normal in 𝐺.
