Question

If a*b denotes the larger ‘a’ and ‘b’ and if a o b = (a * b) + 3, then write the value of (5) o 10, where * and o are binary operations.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given: a ∘ b = (a * b) + 3

Here a * b denotes the larger of 'a' and 'b'.

Substitute a = 5 and b = 10 in a ∘ b = (a * b) + 3

5 ∘ 10 = (5 * 10) + 3

= 10 + 3 [5 * 10 = 10]

= 13

Answer 2

Answer:

Given: a ∘ b = (a * b) + 3

Here a * b denotes the larger of 'a' and 'b'.

Substitute a = 5 and b = 10 in a ∘ b = (a * b) + 3

5 ∘ 10 = (5 * 10) + 3

= 10 + 3 [5 * 10 = 10]

= 13
