Question

$a\times (b+c)=(a\times b)+(a\times c)$ represents which of the following property?

• A. Associative property of addition
• B. Distributive property
• C. Associative property of multiplication
• D. Commutative property

Answer 1

The correct option is B Distributive property

(a + b) + c = a + (b + c) represents associative property of addition.

(a $\times$ b) $\times$ c = a $\times$ (b $\times$ c) represents associative property of multiplication.

$(a\times b)=(b\times a)$ represents commutative property.

$a\times (b+c)=(a\times b)+(a\times c)$ is distributive property of multiplication over addition.
