MCQ
Mark the correct alternative in the following question for the binary operation $*$ on $Z$ defined by $a^ * b = a + b + 1,$ the identity element is:
  • A
    $0$
  • $-1$
  • C
    $1$
  • D
    $2$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$-1$
We have,
$a^ * b = a + b + 1$
Let e be the identity element of $*.$ Then,
$a^ * e = a = e^ * a$
$a + e + 1 = a$
$e = a - a - 1$
$e = -1$
