[/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title="Hint 1" _builder_version="3.27" hover_enabled="0" _i="1" _address="0.1.0.2.1"]Consider K $\leq$

G x H . Now if ( a , b ) $\to$

K then $a^{-1} , b^{-1}$

$\to$

K . Also if ( a , b) , ( p,q ) $\in$

K then ( ap , bq ) , ( pa , qb ) $\in$

K So , G $|_k$

$\leq$

H . Now use this as a fact to guess the answer . Are you sure that G $|_k$

$\exists$

k s.t ( g , h ) $\in$

K . But G $|_K$

contain ( g , h ) $\forall h$

$\in$

. This is certainly having a bigger expectation . [/et_pb_tab][et_pb_tab title="Hint 4" _builder_version="3.27" hover_enabled="0" _i="4" _address="0.1.0.2.4"]So , here is a nice counter example . Take G = $\mathbb{Z_2}$

Consider a cyclic subgroup of G x H ; < ( 1 , 1 ) > = { ( 1 , 1 ) , ( 0, 2 ) , ( 1, 3) , (0,0) } Observe that G $|_k$
