Review the verified answer and explanation for this SPSC – Sindh Public Service Commission past-paper question on CampusFin.

{1, i, -i, -1} is__________? Answer: Cyclic group

The set {1, i, −i, −1} under multiplication forms a group, because it’s closed, associative, has identity (1), and each element has an inverse. Moreover, it’s cyclic since every element can be generated by successive powers of i: 𝑖1=𝑖, 𝑖2=−1, 𝑖3=−𝑖, 𝑖4= 1Therefore, it’s a cyclic (and also Abelian) group.
