Question

The number of commutative binary operation that can be defined on a set of 2 elements is:

8
6
4
2

✓

Answer

2

Solution:

The number of commutative binary operations on a set of n elements is $\text{n}\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}-1)}{2}$.

Therefore,

Number of commutative binary operations an a set of 2 elements $=2\frac{2(2-1)}{2}=2^1$

$=2$
