Question

Commutative property does not hold good for which of the following operations?

• A. Subtraction
• B. Multiplication
• C. Division
• D. (a) and (c) above.

Answer 1

The correct option is D (a) and (c) above.

For any two different whole numbers x and y,
x - y ≠ y - x ⇒ Subtraction is not commutative

x ÷ y ≠ y ÷ x ⇒ Division is not commutative

x × y = y × x ⇒ Multiplication is commutative

So, option ‘d’ is correct.
