If the set H = {x E GI lxl = n} together with the identity forms a subgroup of G, prove that it is a normal subgroup of G. In the case where such a subgroup exists, what can be said about n? Give an example of a non-Abelian group that has such a subgroup. Give an example of a group G and a prime n for which the set H together with the identity is not a subgroup. 14. Show that Q/Z has a unique subgroup of order n for each positive integer n. 15. If H and K are normal Abelian subgroups of a group andH K= {e}, prove that HK is Abelian. 16.
