Algebra Question 1:
Multiply (1 2 3) and (5 6 4 1)?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Algebra Question 1 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
The symmetric group defined over any set is the group whose elements are all the bijections from the set to itself, and whose group operation is the composition of functions. In particular, the finite symmetric group defined over a finite set of symbols consists of the permutations that can be performed on the
symbols. Since there are
such permutation operations, the order (number of elements) of the symmetric group
is
.
Multiplication of Symmetric Group :
(1 2 3)
Images of the first Permutation element
1 --> 2, 2 --> 3, 3 --> 1, 4 --> 4, 5 --> 5, 6 --> 6
(5 6 4 1)
Images of the Second Permutation element
1 --> 5, 2 --> 2, 3 --> 3, 4 --> 1, 5 --> 6, 6 --> 4
For Multiplying the Element of the Group
we have to process from backward to forward
1 --> 5, 5 --> 5 so, The Image of 1 under Permutation is 5
2 --> 2, 2 --> 3 so, The image of 2 under Permutation is 3
3 --> 3, 3 --> 1 so, The image of 3 under Permutation is 1
4 --> 1, 1 --> 2 so, The image of 4 under Permutation is 2
5 --> 6, 6 --> 6 so, The image of 5 under Permutation is 6
6 --> 4, 4 --> 4 so, The image of 6 under Permutation is 4
So, The multiplication of (1 2 3)(5 6 4 1) = (1 5 6 4 2 3)
Algebra Question 2:
Consider the field ℂ together with the Euclidean topology. Let K be a proper subfield of ℂ that is not contained in ℝ. Which one of the following statements is necessarily true?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Algebra Question 2 Detailed Solution
Concept -
Algebraic Closure Theorem - every field has an algebraic closure, and when considering the complex numbers as the field K, this theorem implies that C is an algebraic extension of K.
Explanation:
The Algebraic Closure Theorem ensures that every field has an algebraic closure, and when considering the complex numbers as the field K, this theorem implies that C is an algebraic extension of K.
Since K is a proper subfield of ℂ and is not contained in ℝ, K must contain some complex numbers.
So, By the Algebraic Closure Theorem, ℂ is an algebraic extension of K.
Hence, Option 3 is Correct.
Algebra Question 3:
Let R be a ring and N the set of nilpotent elements, i.e.
N = {x ∈ R|xn = 0 for some n ∈ ℕ}.
Which of the following is true?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Algebra Question 3 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Explanation:
(4): Let R is commutative
N = {x ∈ R|xn = 0 for some n ∈ ℕ}.
Now, Let x, y ∈ N then xn = 0 and yn = 0 for some n ∈ ℕ
Now, (x - y)n = xn + (-1)nyn +
So, x - y ∈ N
Also, (xy)n = xnyn = 0, (yx)n = ynxn = 0
Hence xy ∈ N
Therefore N is an ideal
(4) is correct
(1): Let A =
But A + B =
Closer property not hold
(1) is false
Algebra Question 4:
Let G = z3⊕z3⊕z3 and H be the subgroup of SL (3, z3) consisting of H = \(\rm \left\{\left[\begin{array}{lll} 1 & a & b \\ 0 & 1 & c \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array}\right] \mid a, b, c \in z_3\right\}\)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Algebra Question 4 Detailed Solution
Concept :
The order of an element in a direct product of a finite number of finite groups is the lcm of the orders of the components of the element.
|(
Suppose
Calculation :
G = z3⊕z3⊕z3
|G|=27
The possible order of elements in z3 is 1 and 3, so the possible order of elements in G is 1 and 3.
All the non-identity elements are of order 3.
Thus number of elements of order 3 in G is 26.
|H| = 27
Every non-identity element in H is also of order 3 since,
Thus, number of elements of order 3 in H are 26.
We know that direct sum
Thus, G is abelian.
But H is not abelian. (Take a=1, c=1 in one element and a=1,c=0 in another element and check they do not commute.)
So G and H are not isomorphic.
Thus options (1), (2) and (4) are correct.
Algebra Question 5:
The external direct product of two cyclic group is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Algebra Question 5 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
The external direct product of two cyclic groups is not always cyclic.
For instance, the direct product of Zn and Zm (representing the cyclic groups of orders n and m respectively) is cyclic if and only if n and m are coprime.
If n m are not coprime (i.e., they share a common divisor greater than 1), the resulting group is not cyclic, although it is still abelian, because all cyclic groups are abelian. For example, Z2 × Z2 is isomorphic to the Klein four-group, which is not cyclic, but is abelian
Hence, option 3 is correct.
Algebra Question 6:
Let G be the group (under matrix multiplication) of 3 × 3 invertible matrices with entries from
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Algebra Question 6 Detailed Solution
Concept:
(i) General Linear Group
The group of n × n invertible matrices with entries from
(ii) Euler’s Totient Function ϕ : For p a prime and k a positive integer,
Explanation:
Calculate the order of G :
Given G is the group of 3 × 3 invertible matrices with entries from
For n = 3 and p = 3, k = 3:
Now, we multiply these terms along with (33)3:
So, the order of G is:
Option 1)
a is divisible by 37 :
Since 312 is a factor of |G| , a is divisible by 37 .
This statement is true.
Option 2)
a is divisible by 24:
Since 25 is a factor of |G| , a is divisible by 24.
This statement is true.
Option 3)
a is divisible by 64
Since 64 = 24 × 34 and 25 × 312 are factors of |G| , a is divisible by 64. This statement is true.
option 4) a is not divisible by 54:
Since 54 = 2 × 33
So a is divisible by 54.
Hence this statement is not true.
Algebra Question 7:
What is the number of groups of order 6 upto isomorphism?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Algebra Question 7 Detailed Solution
Concept -
Cauchy Theorem - Let G be a finite group and let p be a prime number that divide the order of G then G contains a element of order p.
Explanation -
By Cauchy Theorem, any group of order 6 has an element of order 2 as well as order 3.
So, subgroup generated by these elements are cyclic of order 2 and 3, say H and K ,respectively.
Subgroup of order 3, i.e. K has index 2 and hence normal.
So, product of H and K is defined and is equal to G as it contains both H and K. So, either H is normal or not.
If H is normal, we get cyclic group of order 6, and H is not normal we get semi direct product of H and K which is isomorphic to S3.
So, only two groups are there upto isomorphism.
Algebra Question 8:
Let 𝜎 ∈ 𝑆8, where 𝑆8 is the permutation group on 8 elements. Suppose 𝜎 is the product of 𝜎1 and 𝜎2, where 𝜎1 is a 4-cycle and 𝜎2 is a 3-cycle in 𝑆8. If 𝜎1 and 𝜎2 are disjoint cycles, then the number of elements in 𝑆8 which are conjugate to 𝜎 is _________
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 3360
Algebra Question 8 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Explanation:
Given 𝜎 = 𝜎1 𝜎2 where 𝜎1 is a 4-cycle and 𝜎2 is a 3-cycle in 𝑆8.
𝜎1 and 𝜎2 are disjoint cycles then there exists a 𝜎3 of 1- cycle
So 𝜎 = 𝜎1 𝜎2 𝜎3
conjugate to 𝜎 means their cycle decomposition will be the same with 𝜎.
Hence the number of elements in 𝑆8 that are conjugate to 𝜎
=
Answer is 3360
Algebra Question 9:
Let H be a subgroup of the group G and
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Algebra Question 9 Detailed Solution
Explanation -
We know that some results about the subgroup
(i) H is proper normal subgroup of
(ii) H is infinitely generated subgroup of
(iii) H is non cyclic subgroup of
Hence option (3) is true.
Algebra Question 10:
Let G be group of order 21 then which is correct
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Algebra Question 10 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
If G is abelian then G is cyclic
A group G of order 21 has order as product of two primes (in this case, 7 and 3). By the Fundamental Theorem of Finite Abelian Groups, a finite group of order n = p × q, where p and q are different primes, is always abelian and, moreover, it is always cyclic. So, if G is an abelian group of order 21, it must also be cyclic.
Hence. option 2 is correct.
