Question 3 Explanation: 
At first instruction we will load the first no. in accumulator and then from second instruction we will add remaining n-1 no. using accumulator. Till now n instruction is used. And finally we will use one more instruction to store the result back to memory. So in total n+1 instruction is required.

Question 8 Explanation: 
More generally, if C is a group and z∈C with zn = 1, where 1 is the identity of C, then G = {1,z,z2,...,zn-1} is a group (actually, a subgroup of C).
Indeed:
• Closure: zjzk = zj+k = zr ∈ G, where r = (j+k) mod n.
• Associativity: comes from C.
• Identity: 1 ∈ G by definition, and 1 is the identity of C.
• Inverse: zjzn-j = 1.
• Commutativity: zjzk = zj+k = zk+j = zkzj.
