Answer #1

Answer:
G is not a ring

Explanation:

The operation of multiplication as defined by the rule:

ab=a-b

for all a, b \in G

is not associate.

a(be) = a(b-c) = a _ (b-c) = a-b-c

because:

bc=b-c by the definition of operation of multiplication

and

a(b _ c) = a-(b-c) Cl by the definition of operation of multiplication

(ab)c = (a-b)c = a-b-c

because

ab=a-b by the definition of operation of multiplication

and

(a - b)c-a - b - c by the definition of operation of multiplication

So,

a(bc) (ab)c
