उत्तर
`1/2`
Let e be the identity element in Q+ with respect to * such that
\[a * e = a = e * a, \forall a \in Q^+ \]
\[a * e = a \text{ and }e * a = a, \forall a \in Q^+ \]
\[\text{ Then}, \]
\[\frac{ae}{2} = a \text{ and }\frac{ea}{2} = a, \forall a \in Q^+ \]
\[e = 2, \forall a \in Q^+\]
Thus, 2 is the identity element in Q+ with respect to *
\[\text{ Let }b \in Q^+ \text{ be the inverse of 8 . Then },\]
\[8 * b = e = b * 8\]
\[8 * b = e \text { and }b * 8 = e\]
\[\frac{8b}{2} = 2 \text{ and }\frac{b\left( 8 \right)}{2}=2\left[ \because e = 2 \right]\]
\[b = \frac{1}{2}\]
\[\text{Thus },\frac{1}{2} \text{ is the inverse of 8 } . \]
