Question

Match the following.
If a, b, c, are whole numbers, then

	Column-I		Column-II
(i)	a + b = b + a	(a)	Distributivity of multiplication
(ii)	(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)	(b)	Commutativity under addition
(iii)	a x (b + c) = a x b + a x c	(c)	Associativity of addition
		(d)	Commutativity under multiplication

• A. (i) $\to$ (c); (ii) $\to$ (d); (iii) $\to$ (a)
• B. (i) $\to$ (b); (ii) $\to$ (c); (iii) $\to$ (d)
• C. (i) $\to$ (a); (ii) $\to$ (b); (iii) $\to$ (c)
• D. (i) $\to$ (b); (ii) $\to$ (c); (iii) $\to$ (a)

Answer 1

The correct option is D (i) $\to$ (b); (ii) $\to$ (c); (iii) $\to$ (a)

(i) a + b = b + a is commutative property under addition.
(ii) (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) is associative property under addition.
(iii) a x (b + c) = a x b + a x c is distributive property of multiplication over addition.
