Solution
Let e be the identity element in R0 with respect to * such that
\[a * e = a = e * a, \forall a \in R_0 \]
\[a * e = a \text{ and } e * a = a, \forall a \in R_0 \]
\[\text{Then} , \]
\[\frac{ae}{2} = a \text{ and }\frac{ea}{2} = a, \forall a \in R_0 \]
\[ae = 2a, \forall a \in R_0 \]
\[a\left( e - 2 \right) = 0, \forall a \in R_0 \]
\[e - 2 = 0, \forall a \in R_0 (\because a\neq0)\]
\[e = 2 \in R_0\]
Thus, 2 is the identity element in R0 with respect to *.
