  1. If ⊕ is an operation such that
    a ⊕ b = 2a when a > b
    = a + b when a < b
    = a² when a = b,
    then,
    (5 ⊕ 7) + (4 ⊕ 4)
    is equal to :
    3(5 ⊕ 5) - (15 ⊕ 11) - 3

Correct Option: C

a ⊕ b = 2a if a > b
= a + b if a < b
= a² if a = b,

(5 ⊕ 7) + (4 ⊕ 4)
3(5 ⊕ 5) - (15 ⊕ 11) - 3

=
(5 + 7) + 4²
3 × 5² - 2 × 15 - 3

=
12 + 16
=
28
=
2
75 - 30 - 3423
