Let * be a binary operation defined on...

Let * be a binary operation defined on set `Q-{1}` by the rule `a`*`b=a+b-a b`. Then, the identity element for * is

A

`1`

B

`(a-1)/a`

C

`a/(a-1)`

D

0

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Let `e` be the identity elements in `A` then, `a∗e=a=e∗a a in Q−{1}`
`a−e+ae=a`
`(a−1)e=0`
`e=0`
`0` is the identity element
