1000 DS section 5- Q-23

by ash_maverick » Thu Jun 11, 2009 9:14 am
If ☉ denotes a mathematical operation, does
x☉y=y☉x for all x and y?
(1) For all x and y, x☉y = 2(x2 + y2).
(2) For all y, 0☉y = 2 y2

Can somebody please provide me the step wise solution?

IMO D

the sign between x and y denotes addition.

IMO A
1)x☉y = 2(x2 + y2).
so, y☉x = 2( y2+x2 ).
both are same ..SUFF

2) nothing is being said about x-INSUFF
The powers of two are bloody impolite!!
