Exercise 14
Let G be a group. Which of the following statement(s) is/are true:
I. If G is noncyclic, then there exists a proper non-cyclic subgroup of G.
II. If a, b E G and Jal and |b| are finite, then Jab| is finite.
III. NaEG C(a) = G if and only if G is abelian.
(a) I and II only
(b) II and III only
() III only
(d) II only
(e) I and III only
I don't see why (II) is false ??
