An operation * is defined on the set `Z` of non-zero integers by `a*b=a/b` for all `a ,\ b in Z`. Then the property satisfied is

A

(a) closure

B

(b) commutative

C

(c) associative

D

(d) none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(d) none of these
Let,
`a=1, b=2, c=3`

* is not closure because
`a` * `b=frac{a}{b}=frac{1}{2} in Z`

* is not commutative because
`1`*`2=frac{1}{2}`
`2`*`1=frac{2}{1}`
`1`*`2 ne 2*1`
