If ab×cd=3337 and ba×cd=799, find the value of (ab+cd) given that ab, ba and cd are all two digit positive integers.
1st Method: - 71×47=3337 and 17×47=799, so ab+cd=118 (Option b).
2nd Method: - Odd × Odd = Odd and Odd + Odd = Even.
From the question we can conclude that all the four numbers are odd numbers. So the required answer has to be even, only option (b) is even.
