$RHS$ part of the equation $36(8 + 3) =$ _______
AnswerCorrect option: C. $(36 \times 8) + (36 \times 3)$
Using distributive formula ,
We can write, $a(b + c) = a \times b + a \times c$
So, $36(8 + 3) = (36 \times 8) + (36 \times 3)$

Mark the correct alternative in the following:
$x + 12 = 12 + 7,$ then by commutativity of addition $x =$
AnswerHere, $x + 12 = 12 + 7.$
But, by commutative of addition,
We have $7 + 12 = 12 + 7$
So, comparing $x + 12 = 12 + 7$ and $7 + 12 = 12 + 7$
We have $x = 7$
Hence, the correct option is $(b).$

The greatest number which divides $134$ and $167$ leaving $2$ as remainder in each case is:
AnswerFirst we subtract the required remainder from $134$ and $167.$
Thus, we will get $132$ and $165.$
$132 = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 11 = 2^2 \times 3 \times 11$
$165 = 3 \times 5 \times 11 = 3^1 \times 5 \times 11$
$HCF = 3 \times 11 = 33$
Thus, the greatest number which divides $134$ and $167$ leaving $2$ as remainder in each case is $33$

Mark the correct alternative in the following:
If $n$ is an odd natural number greater than $1,$ then the product of its successor and predecessor:
- A
Is an odd natural number.
- ✓
Is an even natural number.
- C
- D
AnswerCorrect option: B. Is an even natural number.
The successor and predecessor of an odd natural number are both even.
Here, $n = o$ dd. So
Successor of $n = n + 1 ($Even natural number$)$
Predecessor of $n = n - 1 ($Even natural number$)$
Product $= (n + 1) \times (n - 1) =$ even $\times $ even $=$ even
Thus, the product of the successor and predecessor of $n$ is an even number.
Hence, the correct option is $(b).$

Answer In the product of two numbers, if one of the numbers (or both) is (are) zero, then the product is zero.
$\therefore0\times0=0$
In a division, if the numerator is zero, then the answer is zero.

But, by associativity of addition,
We have $(31 + 15) + 23 = 31 + (15 + 23)$
So, comparing $(31 + 15) + x = 31 + (15 + 23)$ and $(31 + 15) + 23 = 31 + (15 + 23),$
