If 64 × 52 = 14, 48 × 56 = -44 and 74 × 35 = 24 then, 19 × 25 = ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
ab × cd = (a – b) × (c + d)
⇒ 64 × 52
(6 – 4) × (5 + 2)
2 × 7 = 14
⇒ 48 × 56
(4 – 8) × (5 + 6)
-4 × 11 = -44
⇒ 74 × 35
(7 – 4) × (3 + 5)
3 × 8 = 24
Similarly,
⇒ 19 × 25
(1 – 9) × (2 + 5)
-8 × 7 = -56
So, correct answer is option (3).
