Question

Let GG be an Abelian group and H={xGxH = \{ x \in G | | x | is 1 or even }.\} . Give an example to show that HH need not be a subgroup of G.G .

Solution

Verified

If G=Z6={0,1,2,3,4,5}G=\mathbb Z_6=\{0,1,2,3,4,5\} then H={0,1,3,5}H=\{0,1,3,5\}, which is not a subgroup since 1+1=2∉H1+1=2\not\in H.
