Question
Write the identity element for the binary operation * defined on the set R of all real numbers by the rule $\text{a}\times\text{b}=\frac{3\text{ab}}{7}\ \forall\text{ a, b}\in\text{R}$.

Answer

We have,
$\text{a}\times\text{b}=\frac{3\text{ab}}{7}$
Let e be the identity element with respect to *. Then
a * e = a
$\Rightarrow\frac{3\text{ae}}{7}=\text{a}\ \Rightarrow\text{e}=\frac{7}{3}$
