Q17.

There are two elements x,y in a group (G,*) such that every element in the group can be written as a product of some number of x's and y's in some order. It is known that x * x = y * y = x * y *x * y = y* x * y *x = e where e is the identity element. The maximum number of elements in such a group is _______.
