Option 1 : Associative law

Associative Law:

  • It means the numbers are associated in any desired way or sequence. The grouping of numbers doesn’t affect the result.
  • Changing the grouping of multiples does not change the product.

For example:-

a × b × c = b × c × a = c × a × b

16 × 25 = 400 = 40 × 10.

Hint

  • Repeated Addition: It means a number is added the number of times by which it is multiplied.
  • Eg: 25 × 5 = 25 + 25 + 25 + 25 + 25.
  • Inverse Multiplication Law: It states that the product of any number and it's reciprocal is always 1     
  • Eg: a × 1/a = 1.
  • Distributive Law: It means the monomial factor is distributed or separately applied to each term of the polynomial doesn’t affect the result.
  • Eg: a(b + c) = ab + ac.

Hence, from the above points, we can clearly infer that the student used Associative Law in the Question.
