  1. If ✪ is an operation such that a ✪ b = a + b when a > 0, b >0 a ✪ b = √a² + b² for all other values of a and b. The value of
    8 ☟ (7 - 13) - (3 ☟ 1)
    is
    (3 - 6) ☟ (9 - 5)
    1. 1

Correct Option: C

Given a ✪ b = a + b when a > 0, b >0
a ✪ b = √a² + b² for other values of a and b.
Expression,

8 ☟ (7 - 13) - (3 ☟ 1)
is
(3 - 6) ☟ (9 - 5)

=
8 ☟ (-6) - (3 + 1)
(- 3) ☟ (- 4)

=
√8² + (-6)² - 4
√(- 3)² + (- 4)²

=
√64 + 36 - 4
√9 + 16

=
√100 - 4
=
10 - 4
=
6
√2555
