Which of the following is a subgroup of the group \(G=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\}\) under \(\otimes 7 ?\)

  1. A \(\{2,6,1\}\)
  2. B \(\{1,2,4\}\)
  3. C \(\{5,4,2\}\)
  4. D \(\{2,3,1\}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\{1,2,4\}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Option (c) cannot be subgroup as identity ' 1 ' is not present. Option (d) cannot be a subgroup of \(2 \otimes_{7} 3=6\) \(\notin\{1,2,3\}\). Option (a) cannot be a subgroup as \(2 \otimes_{7} 6=5\) \(\notin\{2,6,1\}\). So, option (b) is a subgroup.
