7 The group \(G\), of order 12, consists of the set \(\{ 1,2,4,5,8,10,13,16,17,19,20 , x \}\) under the operation of multiplication modulo 21 . The identity of \(G\) is the element 1 . The element \(x\) is an integer, \(0 < x < 21\), distinct from the other elements in the set. An incomplete copy of the Cayley table for \(G\) is shown below:

\(x\)
  1. State, with justification, the value of \(x\).
  2. In the table given in the Printed Answer Booklet, list the order of each of the non-identity elements of \(G\).
    1. Write down all the subgroups of \(G\) of order 3 .
    2. Write down all the subgroups of \(G\) of order 6 .
  3. Determine all the subgroups of \(G\) of order 4, and prove that there are no other subgroups of order 4.
  4. State, with a reason, whether \(G\) is a cyclic group.
