Solution
Consider the composition table,
| ×6 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| 2 | 2 | 4 | 0 | 2 | 4 |
| 3 | 3 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 3 |
| 4 | 4 | 2 | 0 | 4 | 2 |
| 5 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
Here all the elements of the table are not in S.
⇒ For a = 2 and b = 3,
a ×6 b = 2 ×6 3 = remainder when 6 divided by 6 = 0 ≠ S
Thus, ×6 is not a binary operation on S.
