Question
Let 'o' be a binary operation on the set Q0 of all non-zero rational numbers defined by $\text{a}\ ^*\ \text{b}=\frac{\text{ab}}{2} $ for all $\text{a},\text{b}\in\text{Q}_0.$
Find the identity element in Q0.
✓

Answer

We have,
 $\text{a }^*\text{ b}=\frac{\text{ab}}{2}$ for all $\text{a},\text{b}\in\text{Q}_0$
Let $\text{e}\in\text{Q}_0$ be the identity element with respect to *.
By identity property, we have,
a * e = e * a = a for all $\text{a}\in\text{Q}_0$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{ae}}{2}=\text{a}\Rightarrow\text{e}=2$
Thus the required identity element is 2.
