MCQ
Let $*$ be a binary operation on $N$ defined by $a * b = a + b + 10$ for all $a, b \in N.$ The identity element for $*$ in $N$ is:
  • A
    $−10$
  • B
    $0$
  • C
    $10$
  • ✓
    Non$-$existent.
✓

Answer

Correct option: D.
Non$-$existent.
Given $a * b = a + b + 10$
Let the identity element be $e$, then
$a * e = a$
$\Rightarrow a + e + 10 = a$
$\Rightarrow e = -10$
But the operation is defined on the set of natural numbers.
So, the identity element doesn't exist.
