Let \( G \) be the set of all \( 3 \times 3 \) matrices of the form

\[
\begin{bmatrix}
1 & 0 & 0 \\
a & 1 & 0 \\
b & c & 1 
\end{bmatrix}
\].

(a) Show that if \( a, b, c \in \mathbb{Z}_3 \), then \( G \) is a group of exponent 3.

(b) Show that if \( a, b, c \in \mathbb{Z}_2 \), then \( G \) is a group of exponent 4.
