consider the group $mathbb{Z}^2 ={(a,b)| a,b in mathbb{Z} }$ under component wise addition.



then which of the following is a subgroup of $mathbb{Z}^2$



$a)$ ${(a,b) in mathbb{Z}^2 | ab=0}$



$b)$ ${(a,b) in mathbb{Z}^2 | 3a +2b=15}$



$c)$ ${(a,b) in mathbb{Z}^2 |text{7 divides ab}}$



$d)$ ${(a,b) in mathbb{Z}^2 |text{2 divides a and 3 divides b}}$



My attempts :



I know that under component wise addition will be $(a,b) + (a,b)= (2a,2b)$



Here $2$ is Divide $a$. Now i can not proceed further



Any hints/solution will be appreciated



thanks u
