Q62 / 180 · COMEDK 2020 · Mathematics
In the group $\left(G \otimes_{15}\right)$, where $G=\{3,6,9,12\}$, $\otimes_{15}$ is multiplication modulo 15 , the identity element is
- Correct answerA6
- B3
- C9
- D12
Solution
The composition table is
\begin{array}{lllll}
\hline 15 & 3 & 6 & 9 & 12 \\
\hline 3 & 9 & 3 & 12 & 6 \\
\hline 6 & 3 & 6 & 9 & 12 \\
\hline 9 & 12 & 9 & 6 & 3 \\
\hline 12 & 6 & 12 & 3 & 9 \\
\hline
\end{array}
From the table 6 is the identity element.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
