Question

What will be the result of $2\times (-(-4\left)\right)\times (-2)$?

• A. -56
• B. -20
• C. -16
• D. 16

Answer 1

The correct option is C

-16

$2\times (-(-4\left)\right)\times (-2)$

$=2\times \left(4\right)\times (-2)$ $[\because -(-x)=x]$

$=8\times (-2)$

$=-(8\times 2)$ $[\because -x(y)=-(xy\left)\right]$

$=-16$
