Question

The value of $4\times 3$ is .

• A. $43$
• B. $12$
• C. $34$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $12$

$4\times 3$ can be shown in the form of a box containing $3$ rows and $4$ columns as:


$4\times 3$ would be equal to the total number of balls contained in all the cells of the box.

$\therefore$ Total number of balls in the box= $4+4+4=12$ (as each of $3$ rows contains $4$ columns).

Therefore, $4\times 3=12$, which we have calculated easily using $\underset{–}{\text{Box Method}}$.
