Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Inverse law

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \[ A=\{-1,0,1\} \] Now, let \(e\) be the identity element. Then, \(\quad a \times e=a \Rightarrow e=1 \in A\) Again, \(a^{-1}\) be the inverse element. Then, \(\quad a \times a^{-1}=e\) \(\Rightarrow \quad a \times a^{-1}=1 \Rightarrow a^{-1}=\frac{1}{a}\) Now, for…
