Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 4 MN

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


\(\overline{A B}+\overline{A D}+\overline{C B}+\overline{C D}=\ldots\)
\(=(\bar{b}-\bar{a})+(\bar{d}-\bar{a})+(\bar{b}-\bar{c})+(\bar{d}-\bar{c})\)
\(=2[(\bar{b}+\bar{d})-(\bar{a}+\bar{c})]=4\left[\left(\frac{\bar{b}+\bar{d}}{2}\right)-\left(\frac{\bar{a}+\bar{c}}{2}\right)\right]=\) \(4 \bar{M} N\)
