A group (M,*) is said to be abelian if ___________(a) (x+y)=(y+x)(b) (x*y)=(y*x)(c) (x+y)=x(d) (y*x)=(x+y)I have been asked this question during an internship interview.The doubt is from Group Theory topic in division Groups of Discrete Mathematics

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (b) (x*y)=(y*x)

To elaborate: A group (M,*) is SAID to be ABELIAN if (x*y) = (x*y) for all x, y belongs to M. Thus Commutative PROPERTY should hold in a group.
