A binary operation θ defined on the set of real number is such that xθy = xy/6 for all x, y ∈ R. Find the inverse of 20 under this operation when the identity element is 6
A
1/12
B
10/3
C
1/20
D
9/5
correct option: d
X ⊕ y = xy/6 = xe/6 = x
Xe = 6x
e = 6
X ⊕ y = xx1/6 where x1 = 20
Xx20/6 = 6
X = 36/20
X = 9/5
Xe = 6x
e = 6
X ⊕ y = xx1/6 where x1 = 20
Xx20/6 = 6
X = 36/20
X = 9/5
