    1. Let φ : G → G′ be a surjective homomorphism of groups. Let N be a


    normal subgroup of G. Prove that φ(N) is a normal subgroup of G′ .
    Is this true if φ is not surjective? Justify your answer. (6+4 marks)

    2. Let G be a group and define the centre, Z(G), of G as:

    Z(G) := {a ∈ G|ga = ag ∀ g ∈ G}.

    Prove that Z(G) is a normal subgroup of G. Suppose that the quotient


    group G/Z(G) is a cyclic group. Then prove that G is an abelian group.
    (3+7 marks)

    morphic to G. (10 marks)
