Prove that the operation $*$ on the set $\text{M}=\Bigg\{\begin{bmatrix}\text{a} & 0 \\0 & \text{b} \end{bmatrix};\text{ a, b}\in\text{R}-\{0\}\Bigg\}$ defined by $A * B = AB$ is a binary operation.

Answer

Given that $*$ is an operation that is valid on the set $\text{M}=\Bigg\{\left(\begin{array}{c}\text{a}&0\\ 0&\text{b}\end{array}\right):\text{b}\in \text{R}-\big\{0\big\}\Bigg\}$ and it is defined as given: $A * B = AB.$
According to the problem it is given that on applying the operation $*$ fore two given numbers in the set $'M\ '$ it gives a number in the set $'M\ '$ as a result of the operation.
$\Rightarrow \text{A}*\text{B}\in \text{M}...(1)$
Let us take $\text{A}=\left(\begin{array}{c}\text{a}&0\\ 0&\text{b}\end{array}\right)\text{ and }\text{B}=\left(\begin{array}{c}\text{c}&0\\ 0&\text{d}\end{array}\right)$ here $\text{a}\in \text{R},\ \text{c}\in \text{R},\ \text{d}\in \text{R}$ then,
$\Rightarrow \text{AB}=\left(\begin{array}{c}\text{a}&0\\ 0&\text{b}\end{array}\right)\times\left(\begin{array}{c}\text{c}&0\\ 0&\text{d}\end{array}\right)$
$\Rightarrow \text{AB}=\begin{pmatrix}((\text{a}\times\text{c})+(0\times 0))&((\text{a}\times0)+(0\times \text{d}))(0\times\text{c})+(\text{b}\times 0))&((0\times0)+(\text{b}\times\text{d})) \end{pmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow \text{Ab}=\begin{pmatrix}(\text{ac}+0)(0+0)(0+0)&(0+\text{bd}) \end{pmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow \text{AB}=\begin{pmatrix} \text{ac}&0\\0&\text{bd}\end{pmatrix}$
Since $\text{b}\in \text{R}$ and $\text{c}\in \text{R}$ then $\text{ac}\in \text{R}$
And also $\text{b}\in \text{R}$ and $\text{d}\in \text{R}$ then $\text{bd}\in \text{R}$
$\Rightarrow \text{AB}\in \text{R}$
