Mathematics · Abstract Algebra
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A: Cayley's Theorem establishes that every abstract group is isomorphic to a subgroup of the symmetric group, effectively proving that every group behaves like a permutation group. Reason R: For each element g in a group G, the function fg(x) = g × x acts as a permutation of G, and the collection of all such permutations forms a group under composition that is isomorphic to G. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- 1A is not correct but R is correct
- 2A is correct but R is not correct
- 3Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
- 4Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A✓
Correct answer
Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
