    Find the value of 98 × 102 without doing the full

    multiplication directly.
    A 8,090 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 7,996 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 9,996 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 9,096 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Use identity: (a − b)(a + b) = a² − b² Here, 98 = 100 − 2 and 102 = 100 + 2 So, 98 × 102 = (100 − 2)(100 + 2) = 100² − 2² = 10,000 − 4 = 9,996
