The binary operation "⊙" is associative if:a.(a ⊙ b) ⊙ c = a ⊙ (b ⊙ c) for all values of a, b, and cb.(a ⊙ b) ⊙ c = a ⊙ b for all values of a, b, and cc.(a ⊙ b) ⊙ c = c for all values of a, b, and cd.(a ⊙ b) ⊙ c = 1 for all values of a, b, and c

Question

The binary operation "⊙" is associative if:a.(a ⊙ b) ⊙ c = a ⊙ (b ⊙ c) for all values of a, b, and cb.(a ⊙ b) ⊙ c = a ⊙ b for all values of a, b, and cc.(a ⊙ b) ⊙ c = c for all values of a, b, and cd.(a ⊙ b) ⊙ c = 1 for all values of a, b, and c

Solution

To determine if the binary operation "⊙" is associative, we need to check if the given condition holds true for all values of a, b, and c.

The condition states that (a ⊙ b) ⊙ c should be equal to a ⊙ (b ⊙ c).

Let's evaluate each option:

a. (a ⊙ b) ⊙ c = a ⊙ (b ⊙ c) b. (a ⊙ b) ⊙ c = a ⊙ b c. (a ⊙ b) ⊙ c = c d. (a ⊙ b) ⊙ c = 1

We need to find the option that satisfies the condition for all values of a, b, and c.

By comparing the options, we can see that option c. (a ⊙ b) ⊙ c = c is the only one that holds true for all values of a, b, and c.

Therefore, the binary operation "⊙" is associative if (a ⊙ b) ⊙ c = c for all values of a, b, and c.
