Question

Find the product, using suitable properties.
$26\times (-48)+(-48)\times (-36)$

• A. $480$
• B. $-480$
• C. $520$
• D. $-520$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$480$

$26\times (-48)+(-48)\times (-36)$

Taking $(-48)$ common from this, we get

$=(-48)\times [26-36]$

$=(-48)\times (-10)$

As we know that

$(-)\times (-)=+$

Therefore, the resultant is $480$.
