I. Choose the correct answer for the following :1. The volume of a rectangular box with length xy, breadth 2x2y, and height 2xy2 is (a) x4y4 (b) 4 x4y4 (c)4x (d) 4xy 2. The correct statement for the terms a and b is (a) (a+b)2 + 4ab = (a b)2 (b) (a b)2 4ab = ab (c)(a + b)2 4ab = (a b)2 (d)(a b)2 + (a + b)2 = 4ab
