(b) Let T1 = {o E Sn : 0(1) = 1}, with (n > 1).
(i) Prove that T, is a subgroup of Sn, and
hence, deduce that S, has a subgroup of order (n – 1)!
(ii) Show that T, = {o E Sn : 0(1) = 2}, is a left coset of the subgroup T,.
(iii) List the set of all distinct left cosets and right cosets of the subgroup T,, when n = 4.
For each such coset, give its members explicitly.
(iv) Determine whether T, is a normal subgroup or not.
