  2. B \(\left\{3^{n} \mid n \in Z\right\}\)
  3. C \(\left\{6^{\mathrm{n}} \mid \mathrm{n} \in \mathrm{N}\right\}\)
  4. D \(\left\{4^{\mathrm{n}} \mid \mathrm{n} \in \mathrm{Z}\right\}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\left\{4^{\mathrm{n}} \mid \mathrm{n} \in \mathrm{Z}\right\}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, \(\quad\left\{4^{\mathrm{n}} \mid \mathrm{n} \in \mathrm{N}\right\},\left\{3^{\mathrm{n}} \mid \mathrm{n} \in \mathrm{Z}\right\} \quad\) and \(\left\{6^{n} \mid n \in N\right\}\) are not subset of the group \(\mathrm{G}=\left\{2^{\mathrm{n}} \mid \mathrm{n} \in \mathrm{Z}\right\}\) and not satisfy all the properties of group axiom but \(\left\{4^{n} \mid n \in Z\right\}\) is a subset of \(\mathrm{G}=\left\{2^{\mathrm{n}} \mid \mathrm{n} \in \mathrm{Z}\right\}\) and satisfy all the properties, i.e., closure, associative, multiplicative inverse, multiplicative identity exist with respect to multiplication. So, \(\left\{4^{\mathrm{n}} \mid \mathrm{n} \in \mathrm{Z}\right\}\) is a subgroup.
