Question

The algebraic expression for the statement: 'Product of ${}^{\prime }{x}^{\prime }$ and ${}^{\prime }{a}^{\prime }$ subtracted from the product of ${}^{\prime }{b}^{\prime }$ and '$y^{\prime }$.

• A. $ax-by$
• B. $x+a-by$
• C. $by-ax$
• D. $xa-b-y$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$by-ax$

Product of $x$ and $a$ is $x\times a$and that of $b$ and $y$ is $b\times y$.

Thus required algebraic equation is given by,

$b\times y-a\times x=by-ax$
