Question

For any two whole numbers $a$ and $b$ which of the following statements is incorrect?

• A. $a+b=b+a$
• B. $a\times b=b\times a$
• C. $a+b=a\times b$
• D. $b+a=a+b$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $a+b=a\times b$

The sum of any two whole numbers and the product of the same are not necessarily equal.

Eg. $2+2=4=2\times 2$, but $3+3=6$ and $3\times 3=9$ which are not equal.

Rest all options depicts commutative property which whole numbers satisfy.
