Consider a binary operation. on N defined `a ** b = a^3 + b^3.` Choose the correct answer.

A

(A) Is `**` both associative and commutative?

B

(B) Is `**` commutative but not associative?

C

(C) Is `**` associative but not commutative?

D

(D) Is `**` neither commutative nor associative?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(B) Is `**` commutative but not associative?
It is given that the binary operation `∗` on `N` is defined as
`a∗b= a^3 + b^3`
Apply the given binary operation on `b∗a`.
`b∗a= b^3 + a^3`
