From the previous question,
2(2a+1)×2(3b+2)62=6c
,with a, b and c as whole numbers, you have simplified the left hand side of the equation to 2x x 3y , where x = 2a – 1 and y = 3b.
Choose the correct option which relates a and b with c.
Both A and B
Since 2x×3y=6c⇒2x×3y=(2×3)c=2c×3c , we must have x = c = 2a – 1 and c = y = 3b and hence both A and B are correct.
