Top Groups MCQ Objective Questions
Groups Question 1:
The number of elements Satisfies g7 = e, g ≠ e in any finite group
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Groups Question 1 Detailed Solution
Given:
g7 = e
Concept used:
order of generator = order of group
Every element in the group must divide the order of group and satisfies the property d7 = e
Explanations:
g7 = e
o(g)\7
Two number divides 7 that is 1 or 7
Now,
g ≠ e
⇒ o(g) = 7
Let us consider that the subgroup generated by g.
As the order of g is 7
The order of the subgroup generated by g is 7 (because order of generator = order of group)
⇒ no of elements satisfies g7 = 7 is odd (every element in the group must divide the order of group and satisfies the property d7 = e}
∴ option 2 is correct
Groups Question 2:
The number of generators of a cyclic group of order 10 is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Groups Question 2 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Let G be a cyclic group of order 10 generated by an element a, then o(a) = o(G) = 10
Evidently G = {a, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9, a10 = e }
If the HCF of m and n is d, then we write (m, n) = d.
An element am ∈ G is also a generator of G if (m, 10) = 1.
Thus there are four generators of G namely, a, a3, a7, a9
Groups Question 3:
Up to isomorphism, the number of abelian groups of order 108 is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Groups Question 3 Detailed Solution
Given:
abelian groups of order 108
Concept:
the number of abelian groups of order n is p(n) ( no of partition of n )
Calculation:
108 = 22⋅33.
Now, p(2) = 2 because 2 = 2 and 2 = 1 + 1,
whereas p(3) = 3 because 3 = 3, 3 = 1 + 2, and 3 = 1 + 1 + 1.
Hence, the number of abelian groups of order 108 up to isomorphism is p(2) × p(3) = 2 × 3 = 6.
Hence the option (3) is correct.
Groups Question 4:
Any group of order 3 is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Groups Question 4 Detailed Solution
Concept:
- Any group of order 3 is cyclic.
- Or Any group of three elements is an abelian group.
- The group has 3 elements: 1, a, and b. ab can’t be a or b, because then we’d have b=1 or a=1. So ab must be 1. The same argument shows ba=1. So ab=ba, and since that’s the only nontrivial case, the group is also abelian.
Additional Information
- Every group of prime order is cyclic.
- If an abelian group of order 6 contains an element of order 3, then it must be a cyclic group.
- Every subgroup of a cyclic group is itself a cyclic group.
- Every proper subgroup of an infinite cyclic group is infinite.
Groups Question 5:
The order of each subgroup of a finite group is a divisor (factor) of the order of the group. This theorem is know as
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Groups Question 5 Detailed Solution
Lagrange's Theorem:
The order of each subgroup of a finite group is a divisor of the order of the group.
Converse of Lagrange's Theorem:
This is to say if G is a finite group of order n and m is any divisor of n, then it is not necessary that G must have a subgroup of order m.
Groups Question 6:
Given:
Statement A: All cyclic groups are an abelian group.
Statement B: The order of the cyclic group is the same as the order of its generator.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Groups Question 6 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Abelian Group: Let {G=e, a, b} where e is identity. The operation 'o' is defined by the following composition table. Then(G, o) is called Abelian if it follows the following property-
- Closure Property
- Associativity
- Existence of Identity
- Existence of Inverse
- Commutativity
Cyclic Group- A group a is said to be cyclic if it contains an element 'a' such that every element of G can be represented as some integral power of 'a'. The element 'a' is then called a generator of G, and G is denoted by (or [a]).
Theorem:
(i) All cyclic groups are Abelian, but an Abelian group is not necessarily cyclic.
(ii) The order of a cyclic group is the same as the order of its generator.
Thus it is clear that A and B both are true.
Groups Question 7:
In any group, the number of improper subgroups is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Groups Question 7 Detailed Solution
Concept:
If G is a group, then the subgroup consisting of G itself is the improper subgroup of G. All other subgroups are proper subgroups
In any group, the number of improper subgroups is 2
Groups Question 8:
A subset H of a group (G, ∗) is a group if
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Groups Question 8 Detailed Solution
Concept:
A non-empty subset H of a group (G, ∗) is a group of G iff,
⇒ a, b ∈ H ⇒ a ∗ b-1 ∈ H
Groups Question 9:
Let G be a group of 35 elements. Then the largest possible size of a subgroup of G other than G itself is ______.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below) 7
Groups Question 9 Detailed Solution
Concept:
According to Lagrange’s theorem, the order or size of a group must be completely divisible by order or size of its subgroups.
Calculation:
Group G has 35 elements, i.e. its order is 35
So, possible subgroup sizes can be 1, 5, 7, 35.
Groups Question 10:
Let G be a group of order 57 and G is not a cyclic group then the number of elements in G of order 3 is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Groups Question 10 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Sylow theorem: Let G be a finite group of order pαm, where the prime number p does not divide m. Then
(i) there exists at least one Sylow p-subgroup of G.
(ii) if P is a Sylow p-subgroup of G and Q is any p-subgroup of G, then there exists g ∈ G such that Q is a subgroup of gPg−1
(iii) the number np of Sylow p-subgroups of G is np ≡ 1(mod p).
Explanation:
G is a group of order 57 and G is not a cyclic group.
57 = 3 × 19
Let n19 be the number of Sylow 19-subgroups of G.
then by Sylow’s theorem, n19 ≡ 1(mod19) and n19∣3.
So, n19 = 1
Let g ∈ G, then the order of g is 1, 3, or 19.
Since G is not a cyclic group, the order of g cannot be 57.
As there is exactly one Sylow 19-subgroup P, any element that is not in P must have order 3.
Hence the number of elements of order 3 is 57 − 19 = 38.
Option (3) is true
