MCQ
Number of binary operations on the set {a, b} are:
  • A
    8
  • B
    20
  • C
    10
  • 16

Answer

Correct option: D.
16
Let the given set be A = {a, b}

n(A) = 2

Total number of binary operations = 2(2 × Number of elements in the set)

= 2(2 × 2)

= 24

= 16

Therefore, the number of binary operations on the set {a, b} are 16.
