Consider the binary operation * on the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} defined by a*b=HCF of a andb. Write the operation table of the operation *. Is * commutative? Justify. Also, compute: (a) (2*3)*5 (b) (2*3)*(4*5).

Expert Answer:
According to the question, binary operation on the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} can be given as follows where a*b = HCF of a and b
(2*3)*5
= 1 * 5 HCF of 2 and 3 is 1
= 1 HCF of 1 and 5 is 1
