Which of the following is false?

Options

  1. AAddition is commutative in N .
  2. BMultiplication is associative in N .
  3. CIf a * b=a^ b for all a, b N , then * is commutative in N .
  4. DAddition is associative in N .

Correct answer

C. If a * b=a^ b for all a, b N , then * is commutative in N .

Step-by-step solution

a*b=a^ b and b * a=b^ a a * b b a ; a, b N So, addition is commutative in N . (b) (a b) c=a (b c), a, b, c N . So, multiplication is associative in N . (c) a*b=a^ b and b: a=b^ a a * b b a ; a, b N So, * is commutative in N is false. (d) (a+b)+c=a+(b+c), a, b and c N . So, addition is associative in N .
