Question

Which of the following represent commutative property?

• A. 6 + 5 = 5 + 6
• B. (9 $\times$ 2) $\times$ 6 = 9 $\times$ (2 $\times$ 6)
• C. 4 $\times$ 3 = 3 $\times$ 4
• D. 4 $\times$ 5 + 3 $\times$ 4 = 4 $\times$ (3 + 5)

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A

6 + 5 = 5 + 6

C

4 $\times$ 3 = 3 $\times$ 4

Commutative property states that a sum or a product is not altered if its terms or factors are rearranged. Among the given options, options A and C represent commutative property.
Option A: 6 + 5 = 5 + 6 Commutative property of addition
Option B: (9 $\times$ 2) $\times$ 6 = 9 $\times$ (2 $\times$ 6) Associative property of multiplication
Option C: 4 $\times$ 3 = 3 $\times$ 4 Commutative property of multiplication
Option D: 4 $\times$ 5 + 3 $\times$ 4 = 4 $\times$ (5 + 3) Distributive property
