Consider the operators $\diamond$ and $\square$ defined by $a \diamond b=a+2 b, a \square b=a b$, for positive integers. Which of the following statements is/are TRUE?

For the set $$N$$ of natural numbers and a binary operation $$f:N \times N \to N$$, an element $$z \in N$$ is called an identity for $$f$$ if $$f\left( {a,z} \right) = a = f\left(...
