Exam questions on Order, subgroups and Lagrange's theorem

  1. The set G={1,2,3,…,10}G=\{1,2,3,\ldots,10\} under multiplication modulo 11 is a group.
    Find a subgroup of GG of order 55, listing its elements.2 marks
  2. GG is a finite group of order 2424.
    An element gg of GG has order 2424. Explain why GG must be cyclic.2 marks
  3. The symmetries of an equilateral triangle form a group TT of order 66 under composition. Its elements are the identity ee, a rotation rr through 120∘120^\circ, the rotation r2r^2 through 240∘240^\circ, and three reflections m1,m2,m3m_1,m_2,m_3.
    State, with justification, the orders of rr, r2r^2 and m1m_1.3 marks
