On the power set P of a non-empty set A, we define an operation $\triangle \text{ by }\text{X}\triangle\text{Y}=(\text{X}\cap\text{Y})∪(\text{X}∩\text{Y})\text{X}\triangle\text{Y}=\text{X}∩\text{Y}∪\text{X}∩\text{Y}$
Then which are of the following statements is true about $\triangle$
  • A
    Commutative and associative without an identity.
  • B
    Commutative but not associative with an identity.
  • C
    Associative but not commutative without an identity.
  • Associative and commutative with an identity.

Define a binary operation * on the set ${0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}$ as:
$\text{a}\times\text{b}=\begin{cases}\text{a + b},&\text{if }\text{a + b}<6\\\text{a + b}-6,&\text{if }\text{a + b}\geq6\end{cases}$
Show that 0 is the identity for this operation and each element a ≠ 0 of the set is invertible with 6 − a being the inverse of a.
