Question
State whether the following statements are true or false. Justify.
If * is a commutative binary operation on N, then a * (b * c) = (c * b) * a
Advertisements
Solution
R.H.S. = (c * b) * a
= (b * c) * a [* is commutative]
= a * (b * c) [Again, as * is commutative]
= L.H.S.
∴ a * (b * c) = (c * b) * a
Therefore, statement (ii) is true.
