  1. A \(2 A B\)
  2. B \(2 B A\)

  4. D \(A B\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(A+B\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(A B=B\) Multiply by \(A\) on both sides \[ A B A=B A \quad \text{...(i)} \] Also, \(B A=A\) Multiply by \(B\) on both sides \[ B A B=A B \quad \text{...(ii)} \] Adding Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \(A B A+B A B=B A+A B\) \(\Rightarrow \quad A(B A)+B(A B)=B A+A B\)…
