67. Consider the binary operations*: R *R → and o: R * R → R defined as a * b  = |a - b| and  ao b = a, &mn For E; a, b ∈ R. Show that * is commutative but not associative, o is associative but not commutative. Further, show that &mn For E;a, b, c ∈ R, a*(b o c) = (a * b) o (a * c). [If it is so, we say that the operation * distributes over the operation o]. Does o distribute over *? Justify your answer.

It is given that*: R*R and o:R*RR is defined as

a*b=|ab|and,aob=a,&mnForE;a,bR.

For a,bR , we have:

a*b=|ab|b*a=|ba|=|(ab)|=|ab|a*b=b*a

 The operation* is commutative.

It can be observed that,

(1.2).3=(|12|).3=1.3=|13|=21*(2*3)=1*(|23|)=1*1=|11|=0(1*2)*3=1*(2*3)(where,1,2,3R)

 The operation* is not associative.

Now, consider the operation o:

It can be observed that 1o2=1,and,2o1=2.

1o22o1(where,1,2R)

 The operation o is not commutative.

Let, a,b,cR . Then we have:

(aοb)οc=aoc=aao(bοc)=aob=a(aοb)οc=ao(bοc)

 The operation o is associative.

Now, a,b,cR . Then w
