Solution

The correct option is A True

Explanation for the statement:

According to commutative property or commutative law, when two numbers are added or multiplied together, then a change in their positions does not change the result.

Commutative property of addition
According to this property, when we add two rational numbers, the answer will remain unchanged even if the position of the numbers is changed. Let Aand B be the two rational numbers, then;

A+B=B+A

Commutative property of multiplication
As per this property, when we multiply two rational numbers, the answer we get after multiplication will remain the same, even if the position of the numbers is interchanged. Let A andB be the two rational numbers, then;

A×B=B×A

Hence, the given statement is true
