Answer

(i) 576 x 285 + 576 x 115

Using distributive law: a x b + a x c = a x (b + c)

⇒ 576 x (285 + 115)

⇒ 576 x 400

⇒ 2,30,400

Hence, 576 x 285 + 576 x 115 = 2,30,400.

(ii) 385 x 178 - 385 x 78

Using distributive law: a x b - a x c = a x (b - c)

⇒ 385 x (178 - 78)

⇒ 385 x 100

⇒ 38,500

Hence, 385 x 178 - 385 x 78 = 38,500.

(iii) 365 x 645 + 135 x 645

⇒ 645 x 365 + 645 x 135

Using distributive law: a x b + a x c = a x (b + c)

⇒ 645 x (365 + 135)

⇒ 645 x 500

⇒ 3,22,500

Hence, 365 x 645 + 135 x 645 = 3,22,500.

(iv) 407 x 168 - 307 x 168

⇒ 168 x 407 - 168 x 307

Using distributive law: a x b - a x c = a x (b - c)

⇒ 168 x (407 - 307)

⇒ 168 x 100

⇒ 16,800

Hence, 407 x 168 - 307 x 168 = 16,800.
