Answer #1

The given relations are

c=2a-4b----------------(i)

d=2b+4c----------------(ii)

a+b+c+d=0--------------(iii)

Substituting the values of c and d in (iii) we get

=> 15b-5a= 0

Substituting the value of a in (i) we get, c=2b

Substituting the value of c in (ii) we get d = 106

Thus we get a, b,c,d E< b > , where <\,> denotes the cyclic group generated by.

Since A is an abelian generated by a,b,c,d then A\subset <b>, and since b\in A=> <b>\subset A . Thus we get A= <b>. A cyclic group.

Feel free to comment if you have doubts. Cheers!
