3rd Sem Group Theory

1. The document contains the questions from a Group Theory exam for a Bachelor of Science course. It covers topics like properties of groups, subgroups, homomorphisms, and examples of specific groups. 2. The questions are divided into three units - the first unit contains questions testing the definitions and properties of groups. The second unit focuses on cyclic and abelian groups, homomorphisms, and examples. The third unit has longer proof-based questions on specific group properties and determining centers and normal subgroups of groups. 3. Students are required to answer questions in their own words as far as possible from each of the three units to test their understanding of fundamental concepts and ability to logically prove statements in group theory.
