Question

Q10.Which of the following properties indicates the given operation

I(-1/5) + (-3/5) ] + (1/7) = (--1/5)+((-3/5)+ (1/7)]
(i) commutative (ii)associative (iii) distributive (iv) none of these
​

Answer 1

associative property

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct property to indicate the given expression would be option ii) Associative property.

Step-by-step explanation:

Commutative property says that for the sum/product of any two values, A and B, order of the values does not matter, i.e.:

$A+B=B+A$

Associative property says that for the sum/product of any three or more values, it does not matter which two are solved first, i.e.:

$A+(B+C)=(A+B)+C$

Distributive property says that if a number is multiplied by sum of two values, it will be equal to the number multiplied by each of the values of sum and then their sum, i.e.:

$A\times(B+C)=(A\times B)+(A\times C)$

Hence, clearly in the given problem, associative property is used.
