The number of commutative binary operations that can be defined on a set of `2` elements is

A

(a) `1`

B

(b) `2`

C

(c) `4`

D

(d)`16`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
(b) `2`
The number commutative of binary operations that can be defined on a set of `n` elements is `n^((n times (n-1))/2)`
The number of commutative binary operations that can be defined on a set of `2` elements is `2^((2 times (2-1))/2)=2^1=2`
