Question

Identify the expression which could represent the statement "the product of c and a factor not dependent on c.

A) c(b + c)d

B) c(b + 3)d

C) b(c + 3)d

D) c(b + 3)c

Answer 1

Answer: B

Explanation:

Answer: The correct option is (B)

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to identify the expression which could represent the statement "the product of c and a factor not dependent on c.

The first expression is

Since, contains 'c', so it is not independent of 'c'.

Hence, option (A) is incorrect.

The second expression is

Since, does not contain 'c', so it is independent of 'c'.

Hence, option (B) is incorrect.

The third expression is

Since, the given expression does not contain 'c', but it contains (c+3).

Hence, option (C) is incorrect.

The fourth expression is

Since, contains 'c', so it is not independent of 'c'.

Hence, option (D) is incorrect.

Thus, the correct option is (B).

Answer 2

Answer: The correct option is (B)
`c(b+3)d.`

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to identify the expression which could represent the statement "the product of c and a factor not dependent on c.

The first expression is
`c(b+c)d.`

Since,
`(b+c)d.` contains 'c', so it is not independent of 'c'.

Hence, option (A) is incorrect.

The second expression is
`c(b+3)d.`

Since,
`(b+3)d.` does not contain 'c', so it is independent of 'c'.

Hence, option (B) is incorrect.

The third expression is
`b(c+3)d.`

Since, the given expression does not contain 'c', but it contains (c+3).

Hence, option (C) is incorrect.

The fourth expression is
`c(b+3)c.`

Since,
`(b+3)c.` contains 'c', so it is not independent of 'c'.

Hence, option (D) is incorrect.

Thus, the correct option is (B).
