check whether the operation * defined on the set A=RxR or (a,b) *(c,d)= (a+c, b+d) is a binary operation or not . if it is a binary operation is it commutative and associative too?​

Dear Student ,
 
Please find below the solution to the asked query :

Closure law:Let a,b , c,d  R×R be any two elements.Then, a,b*c,d=a+c ,b+d   R×RTherefore , * is a binary operation on R x R .Commutativity:Let a,b , c,d  R×R be any two elements.a,b*c,d=a+c ,b+d =c+a , d+b=c,d * a,bSo, * is commutative on R × RAssosciativity:Let a,b , c,d, e,f  R×R be any three elements.a,b*c,d*e,f=a+c ,b+d *e,f=a+c+e , b+d+fa,b*c,d*e,f=a,b*c+e , d+f=a+c+e , b+d+fSo, a,b*c,d*e,f=a,b*c,d*e,fThus, * is assosciative on R × R
