Which of the following is not true?(A) (7 + 8) + 9 = 7 + (8 + 9)(B) (7 × 8) × 9 = 7 × (8 × 9)(C) 7 + 8 × 9 = (7 + 8) × (7 + 9)(D) 7 × (8 + 9) = (7 × 8) + (7 × 9)

Answer»

(C) 7 + 8 × 9 = (7 + 8) × (7 + 9)

Consider the left hand side = 7 + 8 × 9

= 7 + (8 × 9)

= 7 + 72

= 79

Now, consider the right hand side = (7 + 8) × (7 + 9)

= 15 × 16

= 240

By comparing LHS and RHS

LHS ≠ RHS

79 ≠ 240
